According to The Hollywood Reporter, John Cena has landed a lead role in the upcoming “Bumblebee” Transformers spinoff movie, which began production today in California, and will open in theaters on December 21st, 2018.

The movie, which is set in 1987, will focus on the yellow and black Bumblebee, and will be the first spinoff in what Paramount hopes will be a Transformers Cinematic Universe. The hope is the universe will include other spinoff movies and offshoot films.

The film is produced by Michael Bay and Lorenzo di Bonaventura, with executive producers Steven Spielberg, Brian Goldner, Chris Brigham and Mark Vahradian.
