Netflix's loss may well be Transformers fans' gain, however. Bay is currently in discussions with Paramount about returning to the giant robot franchise that he launched back in July 2007. In total Bay directed five movies in that series over 10 years, ending with Transformers: The Last Knight in 2017.

Michael Bay is reportedly in talks with Paramount for a Transformers reboot after leaving Netflix’s 'Fast and Loose'.

Michael Bay's Transformers films were undeniably controversial, but this late entry in the series is actually a ton of ridiculous fun.
