Mark Wahlberg is currently doing press junkets for his upcoming film, The Gambler, and he just recently sat down with MTV News to talk about that film (opening Christmas Day) and this year's biggest box office draw, Transformers Age Of Extinction.

You can read the full interview and story over at ComicBookMovie.com, but here's the most important snippet:

While promoting his upcoming release The Gambler, Wahlberg spoke with MTV about the future of the Transformers franchise and seemingly confirmed his involvement in the upcoming sequel as well as possibly another sequel or two: "Yeah, I committed to doing a couple more... you know I can’t speak for Mr. Bay, but something tells me we’ll be on the set soon."


There you have it, directly from the man himself, a man who doesn't do sequels will now be in next film of one of the largest moneymaking franchises ever. Transformers 5 (still untitled as of now) is expected to see release sometime in 2016, and as soon as we have more info, we'll share it with you.

Transformers is like Crack Cocaine. (Not that I have ever done drugs! Don't do drugs kids!)
Once you start you can't stop... Look at the last set of actors... They did 3... I seriously doubt they would just drop the actors and bring in new ones for the last two movies.

#1 It would mean re-starting characters and storylines for humans.

#2 Talking about spotty! (Even with the spotty story lines we get with these movies...)

Bay will return seriously... I doubt he has gone to TF rehab yet.

Bay will come back because Paramount will drive to his house with a dump truck full of money.

I actually liked the actors in the 4th live action movie, but I wish Bay would learn what the word continuity means.

Also, Transformers should never, ever, have a 3rd alt mode of flying pink oxo cubes.

I'll take Wahlberg over LaBeouf, thank you.

For all the faults of AOE, aside from a few very minor bits, Wahlberg wasn't one of them.

I understand Bay not coming back & I think he has done more than enough I think Bay wants to move on & do new things. or Work on his other Films maybe finally Bad Boys 3.

Walhberg I think only signed on to do the 1 film so I didn't expect him back in movies 5 or 6.

Optimus Prime may not even be in movie 5 considering Prime went off into Space to find his Creators which I think are the Quints just done in a new Way.

Meaning Movie 5 may not even be in the same time line or Continuation & could also even be another possible Reboot.

I am hoping Paramount Continues from where AOE leaves off from.
learning more about the Creators & hopefully & finally a 1st Time Appearance or set up for Unicron being the Creators Trump Card.

The Creators are Pissed so they send out Unicron to Destroy Planet Earth. Unicron would also be a new Deal & done in a Brand new Way to fit in Live Action Universe.





I hope some body like Roland Emmerich or Bret Ratner takes over for Bay.

While maybe Ultra Magnus, Rodimus could take over for Optimus.

I also hear the Transformers in Movie 5 could also see a New Look, this makes sense to me considering this will be a new Director.

Hopefully it wont look to Cartoony. as I like the Movie Bot Transformers & I think they should remain As Is.

So movie 5 could be in a Brand New Direction cant wait to learn more but 2016 is a long time away.

Hopefully GI Joe 3 & Star Trek 3 comes out 1st.



I hope they dont do unicron, please dont........look at how badly bay destoried the dinos.......no way. leave that up to good director and a new story line, bays movies make zero sense ........U want bret Ratner to take over for bay? dude hes even worse! have u seen his movies?! esp X-men 3!! :SICK:

My biggest request for Bay and company ... please please please stop having Optimus and the Autobots say things like "we will kill you" or things of that nature. The Autobots should all be likable characters and shouldn't want to kill things. Yah, it's war. We get it. Killing and death is part of war. The good guys should have remorse for when there are casualties in war. They should always protect and cherish other life! So far, I can't really tell why anyone would really like the Autobots in Michael Bay's films. Bumblebee was alright up until AOE. Thanks to his portrayal in AOE, I really am not a fan of him either any more. There is little compassion from the Autobots in Bay's films and therefore I have little compassion for them unfortunately.

I wholehearted agree with you, but I just have no faith in this happening at this point. It's become clear that the filmmakers want to portray the Autobots as Rambo-style "heroes" rather the classic Saturday morning Superman type of heroes, whether we like it or not. Not helping the matter further is how the filmmakers also seem to want to portray the majority of the bad guys (be they Decepticons, KSI robots, etc.) as savage killing machines instead of actual characters with any real depth beyond "Smash! Kill! Destroy!", thus leaving our "heroes" have no choice but to kill them. And the filmmakers also seem to think that vicious methods of the kills are what people deem as "cool" and "mature". These films have thrived on appealing to the lowest common denominator, giving us violent Autobots fighting shallow, one-dimensional villains, and as sad as it is, they'll more than likely not want to break what they deem as not broken (since it keeps bringing in the big bucks). :-(

The greatest part of your analogy here is that when you take a look at Shia LeBoufs life and career shortly after Dark of the Moon, it totally fits with some strung out, washed up, Hollywoood crack addict.

I always figured that Whalburg would be back and to be honest, I've gotten used to Bay doing these films. Switching gears at this point would just mess up the whole flow of these things. I mean lets be real here folks, these are kids films and most of you are adult fans. Do you really have a leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing these films? No, you really don't. You are never going to get the films that you want out of the Transformer franchise. Never. Deal with it and enjoy them for what they are because different actors and different directors are not going to ever get you what you really want and everybody knows it or at least they should by now.

theres not much really kid friendly about the movies though. transformers prime is a perfect example of how a kid friendly movie should be like that adults can also enjoy. there was good mix of action, tension, and humor that anyone could watch but thats just my opinion

Uh yea my kids have really only seen the first one and are still a good ways off before I let them see the others...

I pretty much totally agree Transformers Prime was a great balance for kids and adults. Action sequences especially towards the end of the series were some of the best I have seen. While at the same time my kids loved it.

Shia on the flip side seems to be turning his life around after his last movie... Apparently he has found Jesus. >:oP

No surprise really, Wahlberg may not do sequels (despite him wanting to do the sequel to his remake of the Italian job) but a bigger pay cheque can do wonders. Would like a new writer, one that can cater to bays love for action but offer the audience that audiences can love without dividing them.

This is such a horrible idea, they need to scrap everything and start over completely!

The problem is that AOE made so much money that nothing will change. Odds are that Michael Bay will return to direct "Transformer 5: Murder Prime" and it will be the worst film out of all.

Michael Bay has run out of steam, AOE makes the 1st 3 films look like masterpieces compared to this last tragedy.

I'm feeling a little nauseous and it's not my stomach virus this time.

couldnt agree more..........i still dont get how Bay even got the job in the first place, the guys movies have all been terrible, i remember when he was made director, i knew exactly how these movies would play out.......hollow, all action, no substance......like each and every one of his films.........
i remember in film class, my teacher pointed out Bay as a glorfied hack.........and thats what he is....... :HEADHURTS:

You can thank Spielberg for that, as he was the one who personally requested/suggested/wanted Bay as the director.

Guess even Spielberg was more concerned about the icing rather than the cake.

The script I'll give you, but a lot (not all, but still a lot) of the jokes were indeed from Bay.

The ones that weren't and were just as unfunny can be attributed to those other parties at fault.

We should put up a fact list about what we can and cannot blame Bay for and pin it. That way, we can harshly punish these people who keep going on and on.

This is not a rumor, but more like wishful thinking. I wonder if Rodimus ever makes it to Bayverse, and his character isn't completely bastardized, would Judd Nelson voice him? I know he still performs once in a while in TV shows and stuff, but does he sound different than 30 years ago? Would he even be interested? I don't see why he wouldn't.

If I had my pick, though, depending on what the character ends up like, I'd love to have Al Pacino voice Rodimus.

Are you kidding? Judd Nelson hasn't had much to brag about since the 80's. Hell, Al Pacino was in "Jack and Jill" and he LITERALLY associated his name with that movie because he played himself! I bet it would take far less coaxing than you think for these guys to do a TF movie.

You're a piece of meat, what would you know? :DANCE:

Seriously though, the movie franchise is a high profile nonsensical joke. Sure Pacino and Nelson have had their share of stinkers but they'd be stupid to go into a product that is already known for being poor quality.

As poor quality as it is (and it certainly is), it keeps raking in the big bucks regardless, which could very well be another nice paycheck in their pockets.

They're hardly impoverished and in need of a quick buck are they? It'd be a real surprise if a big name attached themselves to the franchise now, imo. I was taken aback when I read Mark Wahlberg has signed up!

The same could be said about the likes of Leonard Nimoy, Tony Todd, Hugo Weaving, John stinkin' Goodman(!), etc. Still can't believe we got John Goodman in Transformers.

Then again, also still can't believe with got Tim Curry and Mark Hamill in Transformers (even if in one of the cartoons rather than the movies).

Arguably they all got involved before the franchise turned into obvious shit.

As poor quality as it is (and it certainly is), it keeps raking in the big bucks regardless, which could very well be another nice paycheck in their pockets.


They're hardly impoverished and in need of a quick buck are they? It'd be a real surprise if a big name attached themselves to the franchise now, imo. I was taken aback when I read Mark Wahlberg has signed up!
The same could be said about the likes of Leonard Nimoy, Tony Todd, Hugo Weaving, John stinkin' Goodman(!), etc. Still can't believe we got John Goodman in Transformers.

Then again, also still can't believe with got Tim Curry and Mark Hamill in Transformers (even if in one of the cartoons rather than the movies).


Arguably they all got involved before the franchise turned into obvious ****.


So, since John Goodman was just in AoE, are you saying the franchise turning to obvious **** is still in the future? Or is it happening currently? Please explain as I am merely a piece of meat.

As a piece of meat you wouldn't understand the quantum physics. There are no meat based analogies that would make sense outside of the discovery of a new meat that tasted like shit but was packaged really attractively, coupled with an intelligent and aggressive advertising campaign. This future meat would also need a disgruntled but compliant online fanbase.

See? I bet you're stumped.

Still doesn't explain at which point the franchise went to "obvious ****", in your opinion of course.

But all of the actors I listed (minus Hugo Weaving and Leonard Nimoy) came into the franchise (via the movies or cartoons) after 2007.

Doesn't matter, Sabreblade. He can't see the flaw in his own reasoning. Pointless to continue this.

You're right, I came into this with a measured and well thought out argument that you have systematically picked apart. I fall on my sword before your intellectual prowess, you magnificent piece of culinary delight.

Exactly. For the life of me i can't understand how people who want a live action transformer movie 90% transformers and 10% humans can't figure this out. What's even more comical is to this day, no one can seem to respond to this either.



Well, here's your response:

If someone wants an 80-90% Transformer movie, and the budget doesn't exist to make that happen, that does not change the want on the part of the people who would like to see that.

That's actually been the response to this for years now. "I want a movie with 80-90% Transformers!"
"The budget doesn't exist for that!"
"Well, that doesn't somehow mean that I don't want to see the movies made that way."

It's been that answer for years. People don't like that answer, so they ignore it, and then claim that those in favor of a budget prohibitive movie 'can't' answer. But sticking fingers in your ears doesn't equal an inability to answer. The same for better acting, writing, directing, whatever. Just because a thing isn't doesn't mean people give up on wanting it to be.


Alittle late, but here's my response..

I understand that whether the budget exists or not, it doesn't stop people from wanting what they want. But that's not the discussion. Nor has it ever been an answer given in the past. You can want it all you want, but you can't fault the director or his team for not producing something that at this time, isn't financially feasible. And that's where the problem persist. You might as well ask your local airline to send you to the moon for the cost of a flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Maybe one day,.. But getting mad at Southwest for not being able to do it is stupid. So no, my fingers are not in my ears. I can hear just fine. :D But one can't ask for something that truly does not exist, and then put blame on someone for not producing said thing.

Problem is Boll (just like every director) had his chance to prove himself and never did. Every director starts at the bottom and moves there way up. Think of it like a football scholarship. you start at high school. You start playing well, you get noticed. You do really well, and you get free ride into college. You do fantastic, you get a ride in the NFL. Boll just never made it past high school.
