Asked whether he would return as the leading character for the next 'Transformers' movie, Wahlberg simply said: "Yes".

The fifth film is reportedly Optimus Prime's final movie, because he will be replaced by Ultra Magnus. Decepticons like Cyclonus, Galvatron and Unicorn are expected to appear in the upcoming movie as well.
The franchise's director, Michael Bay, is expected to return for the fifth instalment, but he hasn't officially confirmed. The film is slated to release in 2017.
