Paramount Pictures has announced that Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will be the first of a new trilogy series.
The upcoming film is based on the Beast Wars animated series and will be the seventh film in the Transformers live-action film saga. Set in 1994, Rise of the Beasts is a sequel to Bumblebee and will revolve around the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, who'll be pictured in NYC and parts of Peru.
The Beast Wars inspiration hints at the live-action premiere of new factions of Transformers including Predacons, Terrorcons, and Maximals, who are sub-factions and descendants of Decepticons and Autobots. Steven Caple Jr. is the director of the film, and the main cast will star Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback.
"We wanted to give the audience a lot of new," producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura explained during a press release last year. "We have exhausted I would say the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons. How do we find a new set of villains and priorities, saving the world is left to the Autobots and in this case the Maximals. Part of the new news, if you've seen the other movies, you're going to see villains you've never seen before and a lot of elements we've never done before."
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is scheduled for a June 9, 2023 premiere, while the following films have yet to receive official release dates. Stay tuned for more updates.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will be released theatrically in 2023 and is the first of three new installments. A new animated series from @Nickelodeon arrives this fall. And in 2024, the franchise expands further with a CG animated Transformers theatrical film. #ParamountPlus pic.twitter.com/4FKsliX2Hp
