Fans are excited to witness how the famous franchise will change with its intriguing prequel as they eagerly await the release of the most recent chapter in the Transformers saga. Renowned for his captivating on-screen persona and powerful performances, Chris Hemsworth stepped into this revered and exciting position. As he takes on the role of Optimus Prime, Hemsworth must balance honoring a historical legacy with adding his own unique style to the character. Here’s what he had to say about it –
Hemsworth says he picked up the mantle with pride. “It feels fantastic to be part of the Transformers franchise. Like many of my friends, I grew up playing with Transformers and watching the cartoons. Later I became a big fan of the films. Just to be involved is incredible; to be voicing Optimus is another level entirely. But Peter Cullen left me some big shoes to fill. I began by listening to him and wanting to honor his work, but his Optimus Prime is an all-knowing, powerful, older individual. Orion is more spontaneous. Finding the pitch of the voice and the different rhythm was a fun creative journey.”
Unlike the live-action Transformers movies, which depict the robots as battle-ready from birth, Transformers One presents a fresh narrative, revealing the character’s transformative journey. The film delves into the deep bond between Orion Pax and D-16, shedding light on the events that ultimately led to their epic clash. The film boasts an impressive voice cast led by Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson. The stellar cast also includes Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm, promising a thrilling new experience for Transformers fans. The film arrives in theaters on 20th September, 2024 in India, in English & Hindi, in 2D, 3D, 4D and IMAX (3D).
