With In the Heights set to be a major hit this summer, its star Anthony Ramos is in high demand, and now Collider reports that Ramos is being eyed to lead the next Transformers movie.
The untitled Transformers movie has tapped Creed 2 director Steven Caple Jr., who is will helm a script by Joby Harold. Plot details are still under wraps, but Ramos is in negotiations to play a flawed and vulnerable hero – true to the Transformer movie brand – who has made mistakes in his life and is eager to redeem himself with the help of Optimus Prime.
Long before he was cast to star In the Heights, Ramos was well on his way to becoming a major star. He has already worked with Lin-Manuel Miranda on Hamilton, and he also booked the lead in Amblin's sci-fi movie Distant alongside Naomi Scott.
In 2017 Ramos took on Spike Lee's iconic role of Mars Blackmon in the filmmaker's Netflix series, She's Gotta Have It. He then went on to star opposite John David Washington in Reinaldo Marcus Green's Sundance drama Monsters and Men. Ramos also played Lady Gaga's best friend in A Star Is Born and a Staff Sergeant in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. His other feature credits include the Liam Neeson thriller Honest Thief and a voice role in Trolls World Tour.
