New Bumblee Teaser Trailer Showcases Optimus Prime

Paramount Pictures released a brand new teaser trailer for Bumblebee that features a number of Transformers including Optimus Prime. This teaser debuts just a day before they plan to release their next full trailer.

Take a look at the new teaser:

The upcoming Bumblebee film will take place in the 1980s  and is set before the previous Transformers film.

Here’s the official description:

“On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow VW bug.”

Bumblebee will star Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Ortiz, Jason Drucker, Pamela Adlon, and Stephen Schneider. The film is directed by Travis Knight.

The success of the film could determine the fate of the Transformers franchise moving forward.
