That means that Bumblebee will be hitting theaters one year after this summer’s Transformers: The Last Knight.
Considering just how integral Bumblebee looks to be to The Last Knight, that movie could prove to be the perfect lead-in for Bumblebee to go off and truly succeed apart from the main Transformers films.
The film is set to begin principal photography later this year, with a 2018 release date currently set.
So far, the only reported Bumblee cast member is Hailee Steinfeld (of True Grit, Pitch Perfect 2 and The Edge of Seventeen fame).
