New updates for Transformers 5 movie have been revealed as two original cast members will make their comeback in the franchise along with a rumored new director.
According to reports from Venture Capital Post, Age of Extinction star Mark Wahlberg will possible leave the movie franchise after reports of Michael Bay leaving the project and a new director might take his place in the movie. The website cited that with a Bay no longer handling Transformers 5 might take the franchise to a whole new level and whether this would be a good or bad thing is till uncertain.
Indie Wire has confirmed that Transformers director Michael Bay may consider the leaving the franchise for good saying that “there’s a lot that’s unexplored, but that’s for the next director to figure out”.
USA Today conducted an Interview with Bay on the possible future for the Transfomers movie as Bay believes he will pass the baton for future Transformer movies to a new director while he turns his focus elsewhere.
There's kind of a new chapter, a new direction in movies I want to make," says Bay, who is eyeing a passion project, a documentary on elephant poaching. "I have a lot of stories to tell. And it's about flexing new muscles."
Indie Wire further reported that the likely candidate to replace Bay would be his protege and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles director Jonathan Liebesman.
With Mark Wahlberg possibly leaving the franchise, who will take his place? Perhaps original cast members Shia LaBeouf or Megan Fox will take the lead in Transformers 5.
The Latino Post has reported before that Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are rumored to make a comeback in the Transformers movie franchise. Both LaBeouf and Fox's characters Sam Whitwicky and Mikaela Banes were the first two humans that befriended the Autobots on earth and eventually became their allies in their fight against the Decepticons in the first Transformers movie and in the sequel Revenge of the Fallen.
Megan Fox recently starred in another movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as she plays news reporter April O'Neil. MoviePilot.com conducted an interview with Ms. Fox regarding her return in the Transformers franchise.
"I'm not sure if I'll return. As long as things are good between everyone and Shia returns with me I'd like to see us partner up with the new cast like a crossover."
Shia LaBeouf also commented on the possible Transformers comeback.
"It would be good to do another film but I doubt with the new changes since the third film that Megan could return you know, it might be a love war if me or Rosie both return you know its not that i don't think about it." He adds, "But no, I highly doubt I'll be back for another one. I'll do another Michael Bay film but not Transformers."

E!News has reported that Fox might come back on board if she was asked.
"If [Bay] ever wanted me to do a cameo like assembling an autobot motorcycle in a bike shop or something like that, I would totally do it".
