Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner has hinted "Tranformers" character Bumblebee may get a spin-off movie.
Goldner revealed he news during an interview with TFW2005, reported Ace Showbiz.
"As we go forward, we would imagine several more 'Transformers' movies. Not just in the current lineage but also spin-offs and focusing on certain key characters that a beloved by the world over," Goldner said.
"Many of you know Bumblebee; the yellow Camaro, formally known as a yellow VW Bug and he is a beloved character by kids all over the world."
He noted that Bumblebee could get its own movie, "We could see stories told around Bumblebee and other characters. We are in a process of building the brand equity around the Comic Book Business, our TV Business, our Digital Gaming Business and adding to that our new movie business of 'Transformers'."
Although it doesn't guarantee a Bumblebee film will happen, Goldner's words provide a good indication of what the next "Transformers" project will be focusing on beyond the main films.
