Optimus Prime - Transformers-Rise of the Beasts
Transformers Rise of the Beasts

Paramount Pictures has released the official trailer for the highly anticipated film, Transformers: The Rise of the Beasts, and I am losing my shizznit!

As an honorary Autobot, I am anxious to see OG Optimus Prime and the gang go on an adventure from Brooklyn, New York to Peru, and defeat another adversary under the direction of Steven Caple Jr. 

The film, which is slated to open in theaters on June 9, 2023, stars Anthony Ramos and my girl, Dominique Fishback.

Ramos plays Noah, an ex-military electronics expert who lives with and supports his family in Brooklyn, while Fishback plays Elena, an artifact researcher at a museum.

Transformers: The Rise of the Beasts also features Grammy-nominated rapper Tobe Nwigwe, Ron Perlman, who voices Optimus Primal, the leader of the Maximals, Peter Dinklage,  Liza Koshy, who voices Arcee, an Autobot who can transform into a Ducati 916 motorcycle, John DiMaggio, David Sobolov, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez and Cristo Fernández.

Peter Cullen reprises his voice role as Optimus Prime and Michelle Yeoh and Pete Davidson will also lend their voices to the film. 

Pete will voice Mirage, an Autobot who can transform into a Porsche, and Michelle will voice Aerator, a Maximal who can turn into a falcon.

Watch the fantastic official trailer below.

Following the success of Bumblebee, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura noted that the franchise would undergo a change in tone and style to help separate them from the first five Bay films.

Rise of the Beasts also serves as the first of a planned trilogy, with two more sequels in early development.

Listen when Anthony Ramos stepped out of Mirage and Biggie said, “It was all a dream,” I screamed like a kid on Christmas morning! 

Do you plan to see Transformers: The Rise of the Beasts when it opens in theaters next summer?
