Bumblebee movie to be a reboot?

[griffin]

We've had some interviews from Bumblebee Movie actors Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena, as well as Micheal Bay, all suggesting that the Bumblebee Movie could be the reboot that the series needs.... and it might not have been intentional to reveal this, so it could also be a coordinated red herring to mislead us (like Michael Bay telling us over and over again that Megatron would not be returning for TF2).

From Michael:

Well 4.5 billion dollars later, 100s of millions of people saw the Transformers movies – I’d say it had great run. Now it’s time to take this franchise in a totally new direction.

From Hailee:

I think that we’ll see how the first one does, how people receive it and how it turns out

From John:

a wonderful reboot
