Warning: MinorspoilersforTransformers: Dark Of The Moonfollow.
Heres what we know.
MoreTransformersfilms are a certainty.
Lets, then, take a look at the possibilities forTransformers4…
Who will direct?
Steven Spielberg
Obviously, you cant count Spielberg out.
Having produced all theTransformerfilms to date, maybe he wants a shot at directing the next one.
Lets class Spielberg, despite occasional rumours to the contrary, as a very long shot.
Whether the man himself would be interested is a whole other question, though.
Justin Lin
With the nextTerminatormovie on ice right now, who better than Justin Lin to take the reins?
His immediate priority will beFast & Furious6, so it just depends how quickly Paramount wants to getTransformers4 made.
Joss Whedon
Once hes done playing in Marvels sandpit withThe Avengers, why not Hasbros?
Jason Statham
We cant write an article about the future of theTransformersfranchise and not mention the Statham.
The Decepticons may as well not turn up.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Who says we need a leading man?
Just because Shias quit, theres no need to assume that Rosies going to follow him out the door.
Dwayne Johnson
Well, hes already used to acting alongside huge bulky artificial creations.
Johnsons already linked to theTransformersuniverse through voicing Cliffjumper in an episode ofTransformers: Prime.
Could he also replace him as the lead in theTransformersfranchise?
Where can the story go?
And who knows, maybe wed see the Autobots and Decepticons team up to defeat the metal planet killer.
Insecticons
For me, the Insecticons were among the coolest and scariest robots in the G1 comics.
Time travel
Weve seen the destruction of major cities a lot now.
There are always new touches, or new dimensions to see them in.
Time travel may offer a few more possibilities for futureTransformersscreenwriters.
Or how about giant robots in the time of the English Civil War?
But this runs the risk of breaking continuity.
Not that thats ever been a problem before.
Reboot
Everyone likes an origin story.
Er, dont they?
