Well, we finally have some concrete info on the Bumblee movie coming in 2018.
Firstly, it will be directed by Kudo and the Two Strings’ Travis Knight and will star Hailee Steinfeld ((above) we knew all this already) but it will also star John Cena!
Yup, the wrestler… although in what role is anyone’s guess.
We also have confirmation that the movie is set in 1987 and Bumblebee WILL be a VW Beetle! Yes!
