Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer “Transformers One” stars Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Keegan-Michael Key, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and director Josh Cooley (“Toy Story 4”) debuted a new trailer for the first feature-length animated “Transformers” movie in 38 years, along with three extended clips from the film.

As the title implies, the film follows the origin story of Orion Pax, a.k.a. Optimus Prime (voiced by Hemsworth), and D-16, a.k.a.

Megatron (voiced by Henry), and their BFFs-to-enemies trajectory on the planet of Cybertron. Key plays B-127, an early version of Bumblebee, and Scarlett Johansson, who couldn’t attend the panel as she’s shooting the next “Jurassic” movie, voices another Transformer named Elita.

Other cast who weren’t in attendance include: Laurence Fishburne, who voices Alpha Trion, Jon Hamm, who voices Steninel Prime, and the panel also revealed that Steve Buscemi is voicing Starscream. The Footage: The panel opened with a montage of Optimus Prime and Megatron battling in all the different iterations of Transformers, from the 1980s cartoons to the live-action movies directed by Michael Bay, touting their rivalry as “one of the greatest in history,” before teasing “Transformers One” as a chance to see their relationship as friends before that rivalry began.
