The next Transformers movie is very exciting, but it is possibly not the right move for the future of the franchise. The live-action Transformers movies make up one of the most successful film franchises of all time. Two movies in the franchise have made over $1 billion at the box office. However, recent Transformers movies haven't grossed as much money as earlier entries in the franchise.
After Bay stopped directing movies in the franchise, two live-action Transformers movies have been released. 2018's Bumblebee made $464,731,820 at the box office and 2023's Transformers: Rise of the Beasts made $439,241,750. These box office earnings would be amazing for most films, but there are higher standards for Transformers movies. Transformers is a major franchise, but it has clearly been struggling recently at the box office.
Since the most recent Transformers films have remained so connected, both visually and thematically, to Bay's movies, the franchise has not found a new identity. Therefore, now is not the right time for a Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover movie since the franchise is still finding its footing in a new era.
