Filmmakers had tried a writers' room, which resulted in a deeper Last Knight story that wove Transformers lore with Arthurian legend and had Optimus Prime dramatically battle fellow hero Autobot Bumblebee.
But bigger changes are in store for the franchise because director Michael Bay insists that The Last Knight will be his last Transformers film.
"Michael will, of course, stay involved with the franchise — his ideas will be a part of all this," says producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. "But we'll be moving forward with a new director for another movie."
This is a good thing, says Jeff Bock, senior box-office analyst for Exhibitor Relations.
"The key is getting away from Bay. He's done his job here and made billions," says Bock. "But it seems like we're seeing the same thing again and again. To reinvigorate domestic audiences, someone else has to breathe life into this franchise."
