Cena will star as the Transformer-hunter, Agent Burns in the upcoming “Transformers” spinoff and will be joined by Hailee Steinfeld who plays Charlie. Here is the official synopsis for the film:
On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee the Autobot seeks refuge in a junkyard in a small California beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the brink of turning 18 years old and trying to find her place in the world, soon discovers the battle-scarred and broken Bumblebee. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns that this is no ordinary yellow Volkswagen.
“Bumblebee” will be directed by Travis Knight (“Kubo and the Two Strings”). You can see all the excitement of the “Transformers” franchise when “Bumblebee” crashes into theaters December 21. You can check out the teaser trailer here.
