Transformers continues to rise as one of the most popular franchises worldwide. The saga, initiated by Michael Bay in the 2000s, is now on its seventh film, with each installment surpassing the success of its predecessor. Now, the highly anticipated seventh entry, Rise of the Beasts, is about to hit theaters, promising to raise the stakes even higher.
Directed by Steven Caple Jr., director of Creed II and new signing of the franchise, the film seeks to build on the success of Bumblebee and give more scope to the definitive war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Then we leave you with everything we know about the film.
What is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts about?
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts takes a nostalgic leap into the past, just like Bumblebee did with the ’80s, as it continues to explore the expansive Transformers universe. This time, the story transports us to the ’90s, specifically 1994.
Set in this era, the film follows two archaeologists who find themselves thrust into a robotic war involving various factions of Transformers: the Terrorcons, the Predacons, and the Maximals. Amidst the conflict, the iconic Optimus Prime rises once again, leading the charge to save Earth from the menacing threat of Unicron and his team of Decepticons. Prepare for an epic battle that spans both time and dimensions.

The film is, obviously, starred by the giant battling robots. However, we also have some actors who will take on leading and important roles. The chosen ones for this film are Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Luna Lauren Vélez, and Tobe Nwigwe.
On the other hand, actors such as Peter Dinklage, Ron Perlman, Pete Davidson, and Michelle Yeoh lend their voices to some of the main robot characters in the original version of the film.
