Tessa Thompson-Like Actress Reportedly Wanted For The Next TRANSFORMERS Movie

Hasbro and Paramount are currently developing a couple of new live-action Transformers movies. One is a sequel to Bumblebee, the other is Transformers: Beast Alliance.

Joby Harold is working on the Bumblebee sequel, which will most likely see Bumblebee and Optimus Prime team up for an adventure. The Transformers: Beast Alliance is based on the franchise spinoff Beast Wars which centers around robots that transform into robotic animals like Cheetor (Cheetah), Optimus Primal (Gorilla), Rhinox (Rhinoceros) and more. That project is being written by The Amazing Spider-Man scribe, James Vanderbilt. 

Well, according to entertainment insider Daniel Richtman, the studios are currently in the process of looking for a lead star for Transformers: Beast Alliance, and apparently they are wanting “a Tessa Thompson-type actress to play one of the two lead roles in the project.” That film is said to be being directed by Creed 2 director Steven Caple Jr.

It’ll be interesting to see how these next two Transformers films turn out. Bumblebee was easily the best film in the franchise and I hope that the creative team behind the film reaches that high level of standard as opposed to going back and doing more of what Micheal Bay did.
