Why Transformers 7’s G.I. Joe Crossover Was Almost Stopped By OG Director Michael Bay

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts‘ crossover with G.I. Joe almost didn’t happen because it needed director Michael Bay’s approval. While Bay did not direct the latest installment in the Transformers franchise, which Creed II‘s Steven Caple Jr. helmed, the filmmaker remains attached as one of its executive producers. Bay has directed the first five installments of the Transformers series, which have been some of the highest-grossing movies of his career, despite a slew of negative reviews.
