The film is set to hit the screens on September 13. The film is an important step in the Transformers franchise, as it attempts to offer a new perspective on the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the most loved characters.

Henry and Hemsworth spoke about their roles and gave details about the project. Hemsworth, who plays the young Optimus Prime called Orion Pax, said fans will “experience something truly spectacular”, and added that his character will offer plenty of surprises.

The official description of the film says, “the long-awaited origin story of how the most iconic characters in the Transformers universe, Orion Pax and D-16, went from brothers-in-arms to become sworn enemies, Optimus Prime and Megatron.” Henry essays the role of D-16, a young Megatron.

Johansson, who plays Elita-1, spoke to fans through a recorded message on the big screen. “I am incredibly proud of the work that we all have done. The film is unlike anything you have ever seen on screen,” she said.
