The Transformers franchise returns with the upcoming Rise of the Beasts, starring Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishb🐲ack, with the voice talents of Peter Cullen, Ron Perlman, Michelle Yeoh, P🐈eter Dinklage, Pete Davidson, and Cristo Fernández.
Rise of The Beasts unfolds in 1994, following the events of 2018's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bumblebee. For several years🌱, Optimus Prime and the Autobots have marshalled their strength, awaiting the perfect moment to reclaim their home world from the invading Decepticons. The problem? The robots-in-disguise are stuck o♎n Earth.
"Optimus comes across something that may help him, but he starts to butt heads with other people who want the same object," director Steven Caple Jr. tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine in the latest issue, which features 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on the cover. "Everyone has a different motive and agenda. But ultimately, his main goal is to get back home and save his planet. Then we all realize that there's a bigger threat at larg♕e. Will he help save the Earth? You get to see Optimus become the Prime that we always knew."
Rise of The Beasts introduces a breed of Tಌransformers known as Maximals, first seen on-screen in '90s animated series Beast Wars, to the movie franchise. These newcomers include the go꧑rilla-shaped Optimus Primal.
"Then he meets other people along the way," Caple continues. "We have Optimus Primal, who is a very new character, who is also a leader. You see him clash with Optimus Prime a bit. We play him as someone who is wiser, for the time being. For the fans who do know the lore, there are some small nuggets in there in ter♌ms of Optimus Primal and who he is exactly and how he has heard about Optimus Prime. Without going into too much detail, they eventually run into each other and there is a lot of learning to be had and there is an arc between the two."
