It’s been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it. There’s not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie we’ve made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work.”

“Bumblebee” director Travis Knight helms the film with a script from Chris Butler, who joined after initial drafts were written by David Callaham and Aaron and Adam Nee. Producers include Mattel Films’ Robbie Brenner, Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch. The film is set for release on June 5, 2026.
During a recent interview with Variety, Jóhannesson teased Galitzine’s physical preparation for the role of He-Man.
