Jason Fuchs Tapped to Pen Untitled Transformers Script for Paramount and Hasbro

Paramount Pictures and Hasbro have hired screenwriter Jason Fuchs to develop an untitled live-action Transformers film. The project follows the 2023 release *Transformers: Rise of the Beasts* and will continue the storyline introduced in that film’s post-credit scene, where Anthony Ramos’s character Noah Diaz is offered a position with the G.I. Joe organization. The script is one of several in development; Derek Connolly is also drafting a crossover that merges the Transformers and G.I. Joe toy lines.

The untitled film will be produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian, Michael Bay, Tom DeSanto, and Don Murphy. Steven Spielberg and Hasbro Entertainment are listed as executive producers. Paramount and Hasbro are the primary studios, with the project positioned alongside other franchise initiatives under the same corporate partnership. Michael Bay, who directed the original live-action Transformers films, returns as a producer, while Steven Spielberg serves as an executive producer.

Alongside Fuchs’s script, writer Derek Connolly is developing a separate project that merges the Transformers and G.I. Joe toy lines.

The Transformers series has seen fluctuating box-office results. Michael Bay-directed entries peaked domestically with *Revenge of the Fallen* ($409 M, 2009) and *Dark of the Moon* ($355 M, 2011), while *Age of Extinction* broke $1 B worldwide after a 3D boost and a China-focused release. Later films earned less: *The Last Knight* $605 M worldwide, *Bumblebee* $471 M, *Rise of the Beasts* $429 M, and the 2024 animated *Transformers One* $128.7 M, the franchise’s lowest total. The 2009 and 2011 domestic peaks remain the series’ highest domestic grosses.

The untitled script arrives amid a period of reduced theatrical performance for the franchise. The post-credit setup linking *Rise of the Beasts* to G.I. Joe continues the storyline introduced in the 2023 film.

He founded Five Ten Productions and is represented by WME. Fuchs’s involvement adds to a slate of multiple Transformers projects currently in development.

No additional public comments from the studios or the creative team have been released beyond the assignment announcement.
