Ender's Game star Hailee Steinfeld is reportedly in talks to star in the first Transformers spinoff, Bumblebee.

The news comes by way of Variety, which reports, much like the film itself, details on Steinfeld's potential character are being kept under wraps. IGN has reached out to Paramount for comment and will update this article with any new information.

Steinfeld's other credits include True Grit, Pitch Perfect 2, and The Edge of Seventeen. She can be seen next in Pitch Perfect 3.

The Transformers spinoff, meanwhile, was officially confirmed last year. The script comes from Christina Hudson, with Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg, and Lorenzo di Bonaventura on as producers. Travis Knight, who helmed Kubo and the Two Strings, will be making his live-action directorial debut.

Earlier this year, Bay revealed Bumblebee isn't the only Transformers spinoff in the works. According to the director, 14 more stories have already been written.

The next Transformers movie, The Last Knight, is set to hit theaters June 23.
