After a brief role in Spider-Man: Homecoming, rising star Jorge Lendeborg Jr. has entered talks for the male lead role in Paramount’s highly-anticipated Bumblebee spin-off.
While no story details have been confirmed, a report from last month revealed this Bumblebee spin-off will be set in the 1980s, long before the first Transformers movie that debuted in 2007.
The movie is also said to feature “considerably fewer Transformers,” which naturally makes sense since the spin-off revolves around the title character.
With production starting shortly, hopefully we’ll have more details on Bumblebee soon.
