Brian Tyree Henry will be a young, also likely hot Megatron
Whether or not this summer’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts brings the franchise back to its glory days, the robots in disguise will be back in theaters next year. That’s when a long-in-development animated film will head to theaters, and now we finally know a bit more about its plot.
