We don’t have many details about the upcoming computer-animated Transformers prequel, Transformers One, but after Paramount’s presentation to movie theater owners at CinemaCon on Thursday, we at least have a cast list.
Hitting theaters on July 19, 2024, Transformers One will take us to Cybertron, where we’ll finally dive fully into the history of the Transformers in the modern big-screen version of the franchise. Rather than just getting more random flashbacks in movies set in the preset day like each of the live-action films has given us.
And now we know who will be in it, both in terms of Transformer characters in the movie and actors who will play them. Chris Hemsworth leads up the cast as Optimus Prime–a rare occasion when he’s not voiced by Peter Cullen–and Brian Tyree Henry will play his nemesis Megatron.
