The plot of Hotel Transylvania: Transformania is being kept under wraps – all we have is the generic tagline that “Drac’s Pack is back, like you’ve never seen them before in the final chapter of the ‘Hotel Transylvania’ franchise.”
Obviously, the teaser above plays up the mystery of that vague premise, by teasing fans with some kind of game-changing reveal about Dracula, the hotel, and maybe his daughter Mavis’ life and connection to her dad’s legacy. We’ll know for sure when the full trailer drops.
Returning for Hotel Transylvania 4 are franchise veterans Selena Gomez as Mavis, and Andy Samberg as her husband/baby father Johnny. Also back are Steve Buscemi, David Spade, Keegan-Michael Key, Molly Shannon, and Fran Drescher, who play classic movie monsters (Werewolves, Frankenstein and wife, the Invisible Man, etc.) who serve as Dracula’s ensemble of friends. Jim Gaffigan and Kathryn Hahn will also be back as Professor Abraham Van Helsing and his daughter Ericka (respectively).
The Hotel Transylvania: Transformania trailer will debut on Monday, May 17th.
