The live-action Transformers franchise launched in 2007 and has become one of the biggest box office successes in the years since. Bumblebee has proven so effective at reimagining the source material that producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura has confirmed that the film will help launch an all-new storytelling universe for the property.

“We had many objectives [including] to bring a new set of families into the series, and that succeeded; in the after markets that will continue to succeed in a big way,” Bonaventura shared at this year’s New York Toy Fair. “Part of our obligation was to bring people back who had left the franchise or never experienced it which worked well… We are finding our way. Our intention was we wanted to please the core fans but also bring a new audience.”

Bumblebee hits digital release on March 19th, followed by 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on April 2nd.
