Enthusiastic TRANSFORMERS ONE Reactions Say It’s the “Best Transformers Film to Date” — GeekTyrant

This movie tells the “origin story of how the most iconic characters in the Transformers universe, Orion Pax and D-16, went from brothers-in-arms to become sworn enemies, Optimus Prime and Megatron.”

The film stars Chris Hemsworth as Orion Pax / Optimus Prime, Brian Tyree Henry as D-16 / Megatron, Scarlett Johansson as Elita-1, and Keegan-Michael Key as B-127 / Bumblebee.

The film is being directed by Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4) from a script he wrote with Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari.

Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura previously said: “This is … the origin story of young Megatron and young Optimus. If you know the origin, they started as friends, and over time things devolved for them and they ended up on two sides.

“So we’re telling the young Optimus and the young Megatron story. We really are telling the origin story of all Transformers, both what they were at the beginning of it, to how they grow, to how they grow apart.”

This will be the first of what Di Bonaventura calls a “natural trilogy,” and it’s going to explore “Cybertron in a way you’ve never seen it, that no one’s ever seen it before.”

The movie will be released on September 20th, 2024.
