Paramount has announced that the release date for the highly anticipated animated Transformers movie, Transformers One, has been postponed. The film, directed by Josh Cooley, who directed Toy Story 4, will feature Chris Hemsworth in the role of a young Optimus Prime on Cybertron. Initially scheduled to be released on July 19, 2024, Transformers One will now hit theaters on September 13, 2024, according to Deadline. Fans of the franchise will have to wait a bit longer to experience the excitement of an animated Transformers movie set on Cybertron.
Everything We Know About Transformers One
Alongside Hemsworth's portrayal of Optimus Prime, Transformers One will feature Brian Tyree Henry, known for his role in Godzilla vs. Kong, as Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons. Other Autobots in the cast include Keegan Michael Key as Bumblebee, John Hamm as Sentinel Prime, and Scarlett Johansson as Elita. Additionally, Laurence Fishburne will be playing Alpha Trion, one of the oldest Transformers on Cybertron.
Despite the limited information available, it appears that Transformers One will follow the collapse of Cybertron, the ascent of Megatron to power, and the formation of the Autobots by Optimus Prime. This storyline is separate from the live-action film series, which will continue with Transformers: Rise of the Beasts in June. As a result, it's unclear where Transformers One will lead and what new continuity it will establish.
Transformers One is being touted as a fresh and exciting addition to the Transformers franchise, and as such, the filmmakers are taking their time to ensure that the final product is of the highest quality. Boasting a talented cast, including Hemsworth and Henry in the lead roles, the scope of the film promises to be nothing short of epic. With many details still under wraps, it's clear that Transformers One is poised to make a significant impact on the franchise as a whole. This news comes from Deadline, who broke the story about the film's delay.
