Aside from "Transformers" fans getting a fresh peak into some of the history and lore of the franchise, "Transformers One" is also basically a mini-MCU reunion, since Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johannson all have Marvel movie credits. Although they are playing robots in "Transformers One," Hemsworth has experience as Thor, Johannson knows about espionage and combat thanks to her role as Black Widow, and Henry has forged powerful weapons as Phastos in "Eternals." Though Henry has never shared a scene with Johannson and Hemsworth, they are definitely familiar with each other from the "Avengers" movies.
To celebrate the announcement of "Transformers One," president of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation Ramsey Naito said, "I'm honored to have such incredible talents come together to portray these well-known and much-loved characters in an origin story at the heart of the franchise."
One thing is for certain though: it will be interesting to see how Hemsworth, Henry, and Johannson approach these classic "Transformers" characters.
