According to Entertainment Weekly, Goldner also confirmed the upcoming sequel to 2014's Transformers: Age of Extinction would see writer Akiva Goldsman recruited by Paramount to work on the franchise.
"We have in fact brought in Akiva Goldsman to lead a group of writers to really create a strategic plan around Transformers," Goldner explained.
"We think there are any number of stories to be told from the brand that has been around for 30 years with amazing canon and mythology."
