Transformers One: Exclusive 3D Footage Shared At CinemaCon

Paramount Pictures announced last year at CinemaCon that it would cast Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and Brian Tyree Henry in Transformers One. Notably, it is the first animated Transformers movie in nearly four decades. During the presentations on Thursday night, a new extended trailer for the highly anticipated film was shared. Moreover, the studio has also revealed a logo.

The first look began after a pre-recorded message from Marvel’s beloved Black Widow. Currently, Johansson is in New York, where she is directing her first movie, Eleanor the Great. Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry appeared on stage and introduced the first look and extended trailer in 3D for the highly anticipated movie.

The trailer will be officially dropped on April 18, 2024.

Hemsworth expressed his happiness on stage, saying,

I am so excited to play a young Optimus Prime and reveal a side of this character that audiences haven’t seen before.

He also acknowledged the opportunity he has received to share the voice behind Optimus Prime with Peter Cullen. 

This upcoming animated movie will revolve around the younger versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Its official logline states,

The long-awaited 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.

Chris Hemsworth will give the voice to Orion Pax, whereas Brian Tyree Henry will voice D-16. Furthermore, Scarlett Johansson will voice Elita-1. 

It had been a year since Paramount had last shared anything about the cast or the movie’s release date. This left the fans wondering about the progress in production. Nonetheless, the Hollywood strikes also played their part in increasing the cluelessness among viewers. 

Now, Paramount has tweeted about the movie’s release window. An X post from April 11 stated,

Every hero has an origin. #TransformersOne arrives in theatres this September. pic.twitter.com/12mt6em1Z2
