I additionally assume the time period ‘crossover’ means various things for various folks,” the veteran producer defined. “For me, the Joes, whoever they’re, are getting into the world of Transformers, not combining the 2 worlds.”
“The plan is to ultimately do [a crossover]. But, for the subsequent film, it’s the Joes which might be coming in for regardless of the ending of Rise of the Beasts has led us to imagine is feasible.”
“Oh, they may work together. We haven’t developed a script but although,” Di Bonaventura added. “What I’ll say is rather like we do with each different film, it is going to be a workforce of Transformers and people preventing the struggle. The Joes can be part of that.”
Time will inform what occurs with this crossover, particularly as Transformers: Rise of the Beasts did not precisely set the field workplace on fireplace. Should a film see these characters share the display screen, it might be the final likelihood for them in theaters so the stakes can be undeniably excessive.
