Not too long ago, Paramount Pictures assembled a writers room for the Transformers franchise which has since developed a number of spinoffs that are all set to be released over the next few years. The first of those is Bumblebee, a movie which has already cast Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena in an '80s set adventure which is expected to serve as an origin story of sorts for the fan-favourite Autobot.
While the spotlight is expected to remain on the titular character, common sense told us that other familiar robotic faces might appear and it's been confirmed that Optimus Prime will be among them!
Peter Cullen, who has voiced the iconic Autobot on both the big and small screens, revealed during a recent interview that he'll be providing Prime's voice in the movie which is currently set to be released next year. It's unclear just how significant a role the actor will have but seeing an earlier version of his character in what is steadily becoming a shared Transformers Universe should be a whole lot of fun.
