New Transformers Movie Eying Hamilton’s Anthony Ramos To Star

Steven Caple Jr.’s forthcoming Transformers movie is reportedly eyeing Hamilton star Anthony Ramos for the lead role. In 2007, Michael Bay brought the beloved Hasbro property to the big screen in massive, bombastic fashion. Over the years, the Transformers franchise grew to be one of the most lucrative properties in cinema, though recent installments have seen a downturn. 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight disappointed at the box office, and 2018’s Bumblebee was something of a modest hit, though it didn’t come close to the heights the franchise once reached. Nevertheless, Transformers is still is priority for Paramount.

The creation of Bumblebee, which was a smaller spin-off set in the 1980s, indicated the studio was willing to reboot Transformers to give it new life. That so far appears to remain true, and Paramount currently has numerous movies in development. In November of last year, news broke that Creed II director Steven Caple Jr. had been tapped to direct one such movie with a script written by Joby Harold. Little is known about the plot for this Transformers, but it will reportedly tie into Bumblebee somehow, perhaps as a sequel. It is currently scheduled for release in June 2022.

Now Caple’s project is circling its leading man. According to Collider, Hamilton breakout Anthony Ramos is reportedly in talks to star in the latest Transformers movie. Plot details are still being kept under wraps, but it’s said Ramos would play a “flawed and vulnerable hero” who wishes to redeem himself in the eyes of Optimus Prime. Paramount reportedly aims to make the Transformer franchise more inclusive, and Caple pushed to make the film’s lead an actor of color.

Ramos appeared in the original Broadway cast of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical Hamilton as John Laurens and Philip Hamilton, and he appeared in the filmed version that debuted on Disney+ last year. In recent years, Ramos’ star has been on the rise as he appeared in projects like A Star is Born, Netflix’s She’s Gotta Have It, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. His biggest film role yet will arrive this summer with In the Heights, as Ramos steps into the role of Usnavi. Transformers would be another major step upward for Ramos, and he could provide some new energy to the long-running franchise.

With so many Transformers movies in development, it’s hard to guess which one could arrive first. However, Ramos’ potential casting at least indicates Caple’s Bumblebee-adjacent project is making major strides. This is separate from the Transformers that was announced just last week, which would take place apart from the main franchise. Paramount is going all in on this property, and only time will tell if it manages to pay off.
