Director Michael Bay will be returning to his multi-billion dollar "Transformers" franchise with a fourth film due out in the summer of 2014.
That's what producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura told MTV News today (Monday), adding that the new film will feature new characters and storylines.
"He's excited," Di Bonaventura said of Bay, who directed all three "Transformers" films, which have grossed a collective $2.6 billion worldwide.
"I think the challenge there is we really are going to do a reboot," he said, but added he did not mean it in the "Spider-Man" sense in which "The Amazing Spider-Man" is throwing out everything from Sam Raimi's trilogy and started from scratch.
"It's an evolution," Di Bonaventura said. "There's still continuity that's going on and yet there's going to be a lot of new cast. It's going to be a whole new story."
Although at first he said he couldn't say for sure if anybody would be returning due to the fact that there is no story at this time, he did say that Optimus Prime and Bumblebee would be back for the fourth film.
