Johansson commended writer-director Josh Cooley for infusing the film with drama and heart, highlighting its distinctive animation crafted by Industrial Light and Magic.
Johansson said about her role, “Yes, I’m playing Elita. The film doesn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen before, it looks so cool! It’s funny, but it’s got so much heart to it like all of his stuff does.”
The project, slated for release on September 13, 2024, is set to kick off a potential trilogy, promising an exciting journey for fans.
Joining Johansson in the cast are Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry, portraying the younger versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron, respectively.
