Transformers One trailer: Get to know Optimus Prime, Megatron’s origin stories
In cinemas September 18
Paramount Pictures has released the trailer for Transformers One, the upcoming latest installment of the Transformers film franchise.
Before fans get excited for the Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover, this animated film focuses first on Optimus Prime’s relationship with his adversary, Megatron.
The origin story is set in Cybertron, long before the transformers land on earth in the chronological timeline.
The trailer reveals Optimus Prime’s previous name, Orion Pax. On the other hand, Megatron was previously known by D-16.
Joined by Elita-1 and Bumblebee, the two main protagonists journey to Cybertron’s surface, which hasn’t been explored beforehand due to the dangers it is said to have.
On the surface, the crew realizes that right away, but are bestowed the power to transform. After some figuring, they manage to utilize this ability to defend Cybertron from intruders.
Overall, the three-minute trailer gives a lighter and funnier vibe. That’s in contrast to the previous iterations where the story is more serious from the get-go.
The transformers’ appearance also looks simpler and more toned down, giving an old school feel which is appropriate, considering this movie is set an earlier time when Cybertron was more intact.
Transformers One is showing on Philippine cinemas on September 18. The voice cast includes Chris Hemsworth as Optimus Prime, Brian Tyree Henry as Megatron, Keegan-Michael Key as Bumblebee, and Scarlett Johansson.

Godzilla Minus Zero trailer teases the kaiju’s arrival in New York
The movie premieres in November.
Godzilla Minus One was one of my favorite movies in 2023. Only the second live-action Godzilla in the ongoing Reiwa era, Minus One reintroduced the Japanese version of the legendary kaiju to contrast the blockbuster approach of the American Legendary Pictures franchise. Now, the award-winning movie is getting a sequel: Godzilla Minus Zero.
Set as a direct sequel to the 2023 film, Godzilla Minus Zero takes place in 1949, a few years after the events of the past movie. As the end of the last film portends, the eponymous monster survives the catastrophic attack against it. But as to how it survived and what it’s targeting next, we’ll just have to wait and see.
In a newly released teaser trailer, Minus Zero will once again feature the return of the previous film’s Koichi and Noriko. The latter of which is still sporting the scars of surviving Godzilla’s attack on Ginza. Koichi, however, finds himself back in the cockpit of a fighter plane to unknown purposes.
That’s not all. Godzilla is apparently ditching the Pacific Ocean for the Atlantic. In a brief scene that will surely become iconic as time goes by, the kaiju traipses gingerly but menacingly past the Statue of Liberty.
Thankfully, it’s not a long wait before we find out what the world’s favorite kaiju is up to this time. Godzilla Minus Zero will premiere in Japanese cinemas on November 3 and American cinemas on November 6.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse gets first stills ahead of 2027 release
Miles races against time
Sony Pictures Animation has released new stills for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. It offers an early look at the highly anticipated conclusion to its Spider-Verse trilogy. The film is set to arrive in Philippine cinemas in 2027.
Miles Morales returns for the final chapter of Sony’s Oscar-winning animated saga, following the events of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. This time, he finds himself hunted by Miguel O’Hara and the Spider Society. This forces him to navigate the farthest reaches of the multiverse to find a way home.
Written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham, the film centers on a race against time. Miles must save not just his family, but the fragile balance of the Spider-Verse itself.
Closing out the Spider-Verse trilogy
The Spider-Verse series began with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which introduced audiences to a multiverse of Spider-People and redefined animated superhero storytelling with its bold visual style. It went on to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Its sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, expanded that concept further, introducing the Spider Society—a vast network of Spider-heroes led by Miguel O’Hara—and ending on a cliffhanger that set up Miles’ most personal and high-stakes journey yet.
A multiverse under pressure
In Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, Miles is pushed into the darkest corners of the multiverse. Betrayed by allies and pursued across dimensions, he must confront what it means to be Spider-Man while trying to hold together the people and realities he cares about most.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse opens in Philippine cinemas in 2027.
