A new animated Transformers movie is on the way, and the producers have hired a big name to direct it. Deadline reports that Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley–who won an Oscar for that Pixar film–will direct the new Transformers animated film.
Sources told the site that the movie is some kind of a prequel that tells an origin story. The movie is reportedly set on planet Cybertron, and the story focuses on Optimus Prime and Megatron.
Ant-Man and the Wasp writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrai wrote the script. Notably, this film is separate from the live-action Transformers movie series.
