" Michael Bay has revealed that Transformers: Age of Extinction is meant to be considered the start of a new film trilogy. The director told Entertainment Weekly that the latest film, due to be released in the summer, signals the start of a whole new story arc.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s kind of like a new Transformers,&amp;quot; Bay explained. &amp;quot;We had three, the first trilogy, and this is going to be the next one; it&amp;#039;s the first of a new trilogy. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not necessarily sure that I&amp;#039;m doing [the others], but that&amp;#039;s what it&amp;#039;s meant for.&amp;quot;  Alongside a new storyline, Transformers: Age of Extinction features a new male lead in Mark Wahlberg, a new class of robots, the Dinobots and a new Transformer who is neither Autobot or Decepticon, a bounty hunter named Lockdown. &amp;quot;Lockdown is an interesting character,&amp;quot; said Bay. &amp;quot;He travels the galaxy, he works for somebody else. &amp;quot;And he&amp;#039;s here for one person, one alien, and then he&amp;#039;s out of here... He doesn&amp;#039;t really want to take sides.  &amp;quot;The cause and balance of the galaxy is kind of messed up when different species play with different species,&amp;quot; he continued, &amp;quot;and that opens up a whole other gigantic world for Transformers. &amp;quot;Lockdown&amp;#039;s ship has a lot of meaning that can go into other movies. There&amp;#039;s a lot of backstory about that ship that&amp;#039;s not laid out here. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re going to see a few things where you&amp;#039;re like &amp;#039;What is that? And what is that?&amp;#039; And you&amp;#039;re going to see a couple shots like, &amp;#039;Wait a minute, who are they?&amp;#039; But we don&amp;#039;t answer those questions.&amp;quot; Transformers: Age of Extinction is due to be released on June 27 in the US, and July 10 in the UK.
