Peter Cullen, who’s famously known for voicing Optimus Prime in both the ’80s animated Transformers series as well as Paramount’s live-action franchise, has been promoting The Last Knight‘s home video release, and in an interview with Cinemovie, Cullen confirmed that Optimus Prime will return for 2018’s Bumblebee spinoff.
Optimus Prime has been confirmed to return in Travis Knight’s 2018 Bumblebee spinoff.
Among the many questions that arise from this announcement, one of the main questions is, how will they include Optimus Prime?
