Steven Caple Jr. Wants To Expand The ‘Transformers’ Universe
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Steven Caple Jr. shed light upon his reasons for the G.I Joe tease in the 2023 ‘Transformers’ film. The director said, “Yeah, it was figuring out a way to use the G.I. Joe technology because they’re known for their tech. The director wants to bring in the characters that were neglected from different series and editions of G.I. Joe as well. “Maybe there’s a way we can use other characters that haven’t been utilized as much.’ There’s different series and editions and different factions of G.I. Joe as well”, Caple Jr. added.
Steven Caple Jr also wanted the ‘Transformers’ to explore other planets, as he believed that they had spent enough time on Earth and had the scope and size to explore deeper. He further said, “We’re just thinking too small.’ So, if we’re going to do movie number eight and nine and ten, maybe there’s a way to make this all more expansive and branch out.”
Two sequels of ‘Transformers’ are in development, while an animated prequel ‘Transformers One’, which will be set on Cybertron, is scheduled to be released on September 13, 2024.
