While it might be hard to define what a big blockbuster movie is at face value, the Transformers franchise definitely falls into that category.

Since then, Shia LaBeouf has made it clear that his career is heading in a different direction and shunned appearances in big blockbuster movies. He even explained repeatedly in interviews, as he did to The Guardian that he didn't think " there's anywhere to take it with Sam" after the third movie. LaBeouf felt that the character of Sam Witwicky had run his course, and with Sam's narrative over he would only grow stale if he returned. During the press tour for Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, Shia LaBeouf stated that he would not be returning to the franchise, and he hasn't appeared in Transformers movies since, even for a cameo. While many wondered what happened to Sam Witwicky, the decision to leave the Transformers franchise was Shia LaBeouf's.
