An evil Decepticon with a glowing red eye in Transformers Dark of the Moon
Transformers franchise producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura addresses the chance of an R-rated movie ever getting the green light. Based on the Hasbro toy line, the first live-action Transformers movie was released in 2007 from director Michael Bay. After numerous sequels and spinoffs, all of which were rated PG-13, the upcoming Transformers One is set to take the franchise back to animation and a PG rating. So far, no entry has experimented with an R.
"Look, I love new boundaries, you know, so that for me, it sounds really fun to be able to do something like that. But the truth of the matter is, this cost a lot of money – and, you know, these movies are supposed to be designed for everybody, all audiences. And so I'd like to keep it there and make sure that we don't disappoint or freak out some of our fans by going in a different direction.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts underwhelmed commercially, grossing $439 million worldwide. This makes it the lowest-grossing entry in the franchise. It's clear that there are also creative reasons for not exceeding a PG-13. Something like the R-rated Deadpool & Wolverine , for example, has been a massive hit and earned over $1.288 billion, but that film is also based on a comic book character who has historically not been entirely family-friendly. Transformers, on the other hand, is based on a children's toy line, and the history of the franchise has been deeply rooted in entertainment suitable for people of all ages.
