Bumblebee 2 : When Is Bumblebee 2 Coming Out?

Bumblebee 2 should have been a sure-fire sequel, but now the future of the entire Transformers franchise is in doubt.

By David Mudd On Apr 14, 2022

When Paramount Pictures released “Bumblebee” during the holiday season of 2018, the film was positioned as a period spin-off and prequel to the five live-action “Transformers” films directed by Michael Bay that had come before it. Then, when “Bumblebee” earned a combined total of $456 million (according to Forbes), it helped to turn around the franchise’s sagging fortunes.

As previously reported by the Hollywood Reporter, the movie studio had suffered a $100 million loss on 2017’s poorly received “Transformers: The Last Knight,” which meant that the success of “Bumblebee” suddenly elevated it to the forefront of Hasbro and Paramount’s enormous alien robot franchise.

As a result, while there has been no official announcement of a “Bumblebee” sequel, Deadline reported in January 2019 that one was already in the works at the time. A “Bumblebee” sequel appears to be in the works, according to producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who revealed as much in an interview with Collider in March 2019.

Bumblebee 2: Release Date

Paramount Pictures has confirmed that a new “Transformers” film will be released on June 24, 2022, in theatres. According to Deadline, which broke the story back in May, the movie business is developing a “Beast Wars” spin-off from writer James Vanderbilt as well as a “Bumblebee” feature from writer Joby Harold.

A Deadline article from November 2020 also said that Steven Caple Jr. would direct a “Transformers” film in the near future. According to the article, Harold’s script “would be selected as the next part in the franchise” out of the two that were submitted. Instead of a “Bumblebee” sequel, the other script might be a core reboot of the franchise. In order to further muddy the waters, Paramount has also greenlit an additional “Transformers” film separate from the main franchise, with a script written by Marco Ramirez and to be directed by Angel Manuel Soto (via The Hollywood Reporter).

However, in June 2021, the “Transformers” Twitter account revealed that the film “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” will be released in 2022, rather than the previous year. As a result, many “Transformers” projects appear to be in the works, with just one having a specific release date at this time.

Unlike the first three “Transformers” films, which were released two years apart, the fourth and fifth films in the series were released three years after the previous film in the series. Finally, “Bumblebee” broke the mould by arriving in theatres one year after “Transformers: The Last Knight” in 2017. However, because it is a spin-off, it is not required to follow the pattern.

The “Bumblebee” film could be released as early as 2023, depending on how far along the production process is at the time. If Paramount intends to perform a soft reboot for the series with its new offerings, it may want to build up momentum by releasing films that are closer together in the release schedule. We won’t be able to tell until we receive additional information.

What Actors and Actresses Will Appear in Bumblebee 2?

The voice cast of the original “Bumblebee” included Dylan O’Brien as Bumblebee, Hailee Steinfeld as Charlie Watson, John Cena as military man Jack Burns, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. as Guillermo “Memo” Gutierrez, and John Ortiz as Dr. Powell. The cast of the original “Bumblebee” included Dylan O’Brien as Bumblebee, Hailee Steinfeld as Charlie Watson, and John Cena as military Ortiz’s character was killed off in the first film, and it seems likely that he will not return.

Apart from that, it’s not obvious who from the original “Bumblee” cast would be interested in returning for a sequel — though some of the main characters have shown an interest in the project in the past.

“I really enjoyed working with Travis [Knight], but I love the movie and it looks like it’s going to make a lot of money too, so hopefully we’ll be able to do it again,” Cena said in January 2019, according to Cinema Blend. Meanwhile, Steinfeld expressed interest in returning to the show, despite the fact that her character had grown significantly: “I still believe she’s got so much to say, a lot more to learn, and a long way to go,” she told People. So that’s something I’d be interested in looking into.”

Also interested in revisiting the characters, director Travis Knight has a slew of ideas for how to do it, none of which have been revealed so yet. The actor told The Hollywood Reporter, “In my head, I have all kinds of ideas about where Charlie is going to go from here; where Bumblebee is going to go from here; and where Optimus Prime is going to go from here.”Paramount has not yet made any public statements regarding the film’s casting.

Bumblebee 2: Plot

“Bumblebee” introduced several new elements to the “Transformers” universe, including a more in-depth look at certain characters and a reduction in action in favour of characterization. In an interview with Collider, Di Bonaventura said, “The interesting part is that when you start out to make something like that, you don’t precisely know what the implications of it would be. ” In this particular instance, the ramification of it was that there was not enough action for those who did not enjoy the film. Because you’re conveying a more personal story, you won’t be able to.”

It’s possible that you remember the conclusion of “Bumblebee,” where the Autobot reunites with Optimus Prime and additional Autobots come to Earth. Although this is a different timeline from the one depicted in the Michael Bay films (which isn’t consistent with the mainstream films either), it might serve as a starting point for Paramount to soft-reboot the series if they so want.

A sequel to “Bumblebee” might also provide more in-depth character development for Optimus Prime and the other Autobots. During an interview with Digital Spy, Knight stated that this was the case. ” According to Knight, “in my mind, I wanted to make sure that the movie was standalone, but I also envisaged adventures to come.”

When you see a Gen One Jazz or Optimus Prime, you could definitely take that notion and branch off in a different direction with it, such as crafting a different kind of story based on what you saw. Just as a fan, I’d be interested in seeing it.”

As of now, neither Paramount nor its producers have provided any details on a possible storyline for “Bumblebee 2,” so fans may have to wait to find out how the “Transformers” films will progress in the future.
