‘Transformers’: ‘Bumblebee’ Sequel Reportedly In Development

Deadline reports a Bumblebee sequel is in development as part of Paramount’s plans for the Transformers franchise.

Paramount’s Bumblebee offered audiences a comparatively smaller and more personal entry in the Transformers franchise that has currently earned $113.9 million domestically and $287.4 million at the international box office. Now, a Bumblebee sequel is reportedly in development at the studio.

Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura discussed how the first film succeeded in the studio’s goals:

“We had many objectives (including) to bring a new set of families into the series, and that succeeded; in the after markets that will continue to succeed in a big way. Part of our obligation was to bring people back who had left the franchise or never experienced it which worked well… We are finding our way. Our intention was we wanted to please the core fans but also bring a new audience.”

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.

Directed by Travis Knight from a script written by Christina Hodson, the film stars Hailee Steinfeld, Pamela Adlon, John Cena, Stephen Schneider, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Jason Ian Drucker, Kenneth Choi, Ricardo Hoyos, Abby Quinn, Rachel Crow, and Grace Dzienny.
