Hailee Steinfeld in Talks to Star in Transformers Spin-Off Bumblebee
Not much is known about the Transformers spin-off movie, Bumblebee (well, other than it’s a Transformer spin-off movie featuring Bumblebee), however, Hailee Steinfeld is in negotiations to feature in Kubo and the Two Strings Travis Knight’s movie.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, if she agrees to star, Steinfeld will play a tomboy who also holds a job as a mechanic after school, where she’ll no doubt meet the yellow and black Autobot.
The script for Bumblebee is written by Christina Hodson (Shut In), and will be the first spin-off movie in the Transformers Cinematic Universe, which will include prequels and offshoots from a line of movies that have generated over $3.7 billion worldwide — with the latest one, Transformers: The Last Knight, set to hit theatres June 23.
Bumblebee is slated for a June 8, 2018, release.
