Speaking to Metro during an interview regarding his latest movie, Blockers, actor and professional wrestler John Cena stated that Bumblebee: The Movie will ‘reinvigorate’ the Transformers Fans while still pleasing the fans of the original five movies.
Adding more, Mr. Cena stated “I think Travis Knight did a fantastic job of reintroducing the look, the feel, the storytelling of this franchise. I think people who enjoy what ‘Transformers’ was will enjoy the movie. I think it will attract a new fan base. I know Hailee did a fantastic job. I also know that it is very different. I think fans of the franchise are going to be excitingly reinvigorated with the new look.”
Judging by another comment, it seems as though his character, Agent Burns, comes face to face with Bumblebee at one point: “Here we are talking about ‘Blockers’ a comedy with a lot of improvisation. It is very difficult to improvise with a 13 foot stick with a tennis ball attached to it. So it is a different movie-making process, but one I was extremely interested in”.
John Cena (along with his co-star Hailee Steinfeld) will host Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2018 on Saturday, 24th March.

Ya see there…
They're talking to people like ME! Not the people they know are going support whatever crap they fling at screens because those moviegoers aren't enough any more. So they're back to catering to us again.
To which I say, "NOPE!!!" Paramount is dead to me. They're regard for real G1 fans over the last 10 years has had Karma tapping on their shoulder during the last 2 in a half. So I think it's fitting that I ignore Paramount for about 7 more. Which is easy since I'm sure this crap will be more about Cena than any real G1 Transformers that I like anyway.

But aren’t we getting a trailer in April and I thought we were getting a vw deluxe bee

Can't wait to see the trailer! Really hoping we get a deluxe VW Bumblebee figure too. Evasion Mode Prime needs some more classic bots to go with him.

Yeah I thought about it too! Steinfeld posted a few things here and there on IG but I have not seen a single video in which Travis knight talked about the movie! No statements at all! The only official thing we got was that photo of him and that Decepticon other than that they didnt do anything to announce him as the new director.

The actors are always confident until the film is released and it proves to be a steaming pile of monkey crap.

It still doesn't change the fact he made such a statement prior to the film.

Except Hamill later took back those statements and admitted he was wrong.
As for the Bumblebee movie, I’m cautiously optimistic. Like the other films, I’ll wait and see, and I’ll form my own opinion on it.

I refuse to believe any sort of BS coming from such people. They're only goal is to create hype and excitement to save the franchise. Put their money where their mouth is and TRULY produce a good movie. The proof is in the pudding as they saying goes. In other words, we shall see how good (or bad) this movie is once it hits theaters.

Mark Hamill and the Last Jedi.

I'd settle for being able to tell what I'm actually looking at as opposed to watching an indiscernible mess of parts flying around.
Also an.actual congruent plot with likeable characters, that's not too much to ask for.

True, but keep in mind this is said to be a smaller movie than TLK, which was supposed to be a big event blockbuster. TLK had a lot of robots to show off, but they probably don't want to make people sick of seeing Bee's face before he movie comes out, lol. Even then, I'm guessing the early marketing will kick in fairly soon.
Honestly, what has me more worried than the lack of marketing is the lack of statements by the cast and crew. We've heard a couple of things from John Cena, but very little from Hailee Steinfeld (and she's pretty active on social media). Also, we've heard next-to-nothing from Travis Knight himself, which is kind of strange to me. As far as I can tell he doesn't have much of an online presence (I can't find him on social media), but usually the directors talk about their work. Bay always seems to be talking about his cameras and cars, lol. Overall I'm not too worried though, I'm sure all that will also come soon.

I want to hear what Optimus or Bmblebee have to say about the new movie.
Afterburner
Wait a minute, you mean to tell me a guy who is in the movie is promoting it???? Like I wonder if he stands to benefit from the movie benefiting? I wonder if stars often pan a movie they are in publicly before it comes out?
Ohhhhh so many things to wonder…
I. Love. Grape Jelly!
Lody666
I can\'t be the only one that gets pi$$ed off seeing Cena do that salute knowing he was never in the service, can I?
The TFDrawer
Well trailer wise its understandable but they haven't announced the title officially nor have they released a teaser poster or image of BB. Both things we got when TLK started filming! A YEAR before its release! The social media accs are also dead. Only thing they did was to change the profile pic from OP to BB.
