The "Transformers" film franchise is an unusually dense with orbed, characters, conspiracy and continuity. Unlike most long -standing franchises, which tend to restart their continuity, each so often, "Transformers" films are strangely proud of maintaining at least a loose sense of connection between every Chinese installment, ensuring that no new movie explicitly tramples at another events. on the film or view the old territory. Although this makes the Serie A Fanubator generally award -winning experience, it has left the films in a strange position on where to go next. "The Last Knight" in 2017, the fifth and today to the last installment directed by Michael Bay, has left Clifancher events that have yet to be resolved or resolved, while "Raising the Astswerers" in 2023, set up 23 years ago " Knight, "we seemed to promise a crossover adventure with the franchise" GIO "by Hasbro and Paramount. Last year's "Transformers One" seemed to promise a new way forward by placing her story in a far, far -down, but its insufficient realization of box office may mean that further animated stories of buses and depressions may remain on the small screen for now.

It is enough to say, there are at least a dozen or more hanging threads in the Chinese Transformers Universe, and although one of them can be collected in a future movie (or not!), There are some that look very unlikely. The main camp is Sam Witviki's recent camp, shown by Shia Labeuf in the first three films "Transformers" from 2007 to 2011. In that initial trilogy of films, Sam was unequivocally the only most important human character, with so much the story turns around and depends on it. After the "age of extinction" in 2014 did not see any appearance or mention of Sam, it seemed that Labeuf's wishes never return to the character or the series would really be honored. Well, why did this unwanted mixing of the character happen and is it possible for Sam to ever come back? The answer is like the "transformers" themselves: it is complicated.

For those of you who have never seen or just vaguely remember The first three films "Transformers"You may think that Sam Witviki was an incidental protagonist. Or, in other words, that he is a simple man caught in the long -standing inter -galactic war between well -intentioned buses and authoritarian deputies. While Sam and his girl. Sam's friendships with Autobots Bumberebee and their leader, Optimus Prime (expressed by Peter Cullen).

In the first film, Sam has been chosen one character, destined to play a key role in the war in Cibertron thanks to his great used to beat Megatron. The "revenge of the fallen" reveals that Sam's exposure to Alspark has changed, allowing visions and indications that ultimately led him and Mikaella to return the leadership matrix, an ancient device that revives the temporarily deceased optimis. In Dark of the Moon, Sam and his new girlfriend, Carly (Rosie Huntington Whitley), are routinely rejected as nothing but unstable people, leading to Carly and Sam to step and prove their value several times, helping Stop the "Invasion of Chicago Invasion and Prevent Cybertron from copying the country. In each of the three films, Sam is instrumental to the victory of the buses; Every story and its events are so closely related to him that he is an inextricably vital part of the Transformers saga.

As most can tell you, working with director Michael Bay is not a walk in the park. Add to it The notable physical demand "Transformers" puts its actresses and crew, Not to mention the biggest mark on the films that are outstanding actions and creations of CGI in them, not the characters and performances, and you can start watching why every actor can quickly have a filling as a starvet of these films.

Surely, Labeuf was in the press around the time "Dark of the Moon" was in the cinema, claiming that the third film should have been his last appearance in the series "Transformers". In Labeuf's own words (through the Guardian):

"I just don't think there is now anywhere I take it. I learned a lot from Michael, as a person, as an actor, as a person's person. And it's not that I don't enjoy working with Michael. I want to work with Michael.

As his statement points out, the departure of Labeuf had more to do with being tired of the "transformers" and his character than the one who has any major problems with Michael Bay. That glorious is not the case with Megan Fox, who left the "dark on the moon" in a late stage (either was fired, or maybe a mixture of both) causing Bay and writer Ehren Krueger to create the image of Carly as a last -minute replacement. Who knows - if Fox went before the development process, maybe Labeuf would decide to worship then. In the years of his departure from the series, Labeuf There are no minced words about his feelings As for the "Transformers" films, which means that the probability of his return is now reduced.

With the departure of Labeuf and Fox, the Transformers series took the opportunity to make a soft restart with "age" in 2014, assembling in Mark Walberg as Cade Jeger along with family and friends of the new human protagonists of the series. While that film has more than enough characters and plots to try, it is an awkward suitable continuity-wise to have Optimus Prime and Bumberbee even not to mention their once good human friends Sam, Mikaella and Carly. This may be because, in one phase, Bay would not have come back to make the film, nor, and it was possible that it was developed as a more difficult restart than it ended.

Regardless of the case, the next (and, to date, the last) film directed by the Bay of Transformers, 2017 "The Last Knight", tried to level a few loose ends with the series lub. William Lennox (Oshosh Duhamel) and Seymour Simmons (Johnon Thururo) from the first three films to prove that these films all share the same continuity. In this spirit, Sam Witwick is mentioned at one point in the film: As Sir Edmund Burton (Anthony Hopkins) informs Jagger and Vivian Wampy (Laura Haddock) of their roles in the common fate between cyberraders and people, Sam's picture is a picture Sam is a picture of Sam is a picture of Sam is viewed as part of the history of the Order of the Vivicans, people throughout history who have become aware of the existence of earth transformers.

However, most of these numbers have died, with these people moving from King Arthur and his knights to Burton, who is declared the last surviving member of the order. This seems to mean that Sam has died at some point on the screen, which is a pretty brazen end to what was previously a leading character does this bay have a secondary spiritual laughter of his own series and Labeuf? Or, this reference was intended as an Easter egg that indicated the potential re -appearance of Sam in the future? Given that, to this day, no movie "Transformers" has been set in a timeline after the "Last Knight", the answers are still in the air.

While the door is still a little bit of Ayar to allow for a potentially re -appearance by Sam Witviks in the future film "Transformers", it is very likely that Labeuf himself can appear again in one. It is not only for the original reasons he has stated, but also to the fact that the actor has been the subject of numerous public and problematic issues that have all disrupted his life and career. In addition to several public outbursts, arrests and a history of strange behavior, Labouf is accused of abuse by two of his former girls (Including twigs from FKA). He was also very publicly released by "Did Darli" in 2022 and was subject to several plagiarism charges, not to mention, admitting that he invented the truth behind his alleged autobiographical scenario for "Jay Boy", which was wrong. positioned a father as physically offensive.

Labeuf The first appearance of cinema-screens after two years of absence was in Francis Ford Megalopolis last yearAs part of the admirable but semi-baked Coppola idea to try to make his film in some kind of meta tract to get a dialogue to cancel a problematic public figure. In other words, Labeuf was engaged thanks to his troubled nature and the public person, not despite that. Such a trick casting is unlikely to happen again, of course not with a high -profile high -profile blockbuster as "transformers". Unless Labeuf cleared his image in a huge way (and perhaps even then), we undoubtedly saw the last of his Sam Witviks' screening in the Transformers series.
