Transformers 2 is likely to arrive in cinemas on 26 June 2009, according to trade magazine Variety. Although it has not been confirmed, it is expected that both director Michael Bay and star Shia LaBeouf will return for the project.

While Paramount and DreamWorks have announced their target date, they have added that it could change. There are possibilities that the release could be held up by the ongoing tension between Dreamworks and Paramount and a possible strike.

The year’s Transformers movie was a worldwide smash, and set a new US opening record for a non-sequel. The pre-Christmas release of the DVD is also expected to prove popular. The region 1 DVD is released on October 16th, and the region 2 release is scheduled for 3rd December.
