Paramount is reportedly developing a sequel to their soft Revenge Of The Fallen – would be an even bigger success, though it was roundly lambasted for its juvenile humor and noisy action. Both Bay and LaBeouf would later acknowledge the movie didn’t work.

Despite stating he’d step aside following the third movie Kubo And The Two Strings director Travis Knight was given the keys to direct Bumblebee, a prequel set in 1987 that details the title character landing on Earth and his budding friendship with a teenager named Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld).

solidly profitable’ and the movie’s great word of mouth has seen it $400M worldwide. According to a new report by Deadline, Paramount is said to be developing a Bumblebee sequel, and while no plot details are given it will presumably pick up from the Bumblebee/Optimus Prime reunion from the end of the movie.

While the movie hasn’t smashed Hailee Steinfeld too.

Since Bumblebee is set before Bay’s movies, the next movie could go in any number of directions. After the relatively small scale of the prequel, the follow-up will likely feature an increase in scope. Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson already knows what story she’d want to see in a sequel, but time will tell if Paramount uses her concept.
