Speaking to Movie Web while promoting the DVD/Blu-Ray release of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, Peter Cullen - who's voiced Autobot leader Optimus Prime in various pieces of Transformers media, including the Michael Bay films - is asked about the future of the film franchise. He says that while everyone needs at least two years to rest (as suggested by Tyrese Gibson), he would love to eventually do a fourth Transformers film.

There is a lot of talk about where the future of this franchise will go. I talked to Tyrese Gibson a few weeks ago, and he believes that everyone will come back, but it might take a couple of years, to get some other projects done. I don't think anyone will be able to let this franchise go. Is that how you're approaching the future of this franchise?
It's so great to hear Tyrese say that. It was such a pleasure being with him, he's such a great guy. I think they need a two-year rest. These guys work very hard. They can all use a rest, but I would hope that Tyrese's words come true, and I hope for the same thing. It's a unique opportunity to work with a successful trilogy like this, and lets hope it goes to four. I would love it.
Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is out on DVD/Blu-Ray today!
