Transformers 4 will be set 4 years after Dark Of The Moon

Things are beginning to pick up pace with regards to Transformers 4 , with Michael Bay following up last week’s announcement that Mark Wahlberg will be taking the lead with the first official plot details.

Specifics are understandably few and far between at this stage, but one thing Bay can confirm is that the new film will be set four years after the events of its predecessor.

“The movie will continue four years from the attack on Chicago,” says Bay, “which is in the last movie. So it’s going to still have the same lineage. And it’s going a full new direction and feels very natural how it’s going in that direction.

“There is no way you’re going to ever find out what the story is,” continues the director. “You don’t have to dig through my trash… I shredded my trash.”

Michael Bay movie plot in the trash can? We’ll let you make the jokes yourselves. Transformers 4 opens in the UK on 27 June 2014.
