The project is still in its earliest stages, with Ramirez taking a fresh approach that will not connect to the Transformers movies, directed by Michael Bay, or Travis Knight’s 2019 blockbuster spin-off feature Bumblebee.

It was reported last year that Creed 2 director Steven Caple Jr was set to direct the seventh Transformers movie after the studio decided to go for a soft revamp of the franchise, which has collectively made over 4 billion dollars at the box office.
