Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is getting ready to hit theaters next summer, and from what we’ve seen so far it’ll be a soft reboot of the franchise. Rise of the Beasts will mark the first live-action Transformers movie to be released without Michael Bay at the helm. Instead, the film will be directed by Creed II director Steven Caple Jr., and the first trailer for the film gives the franchise a breath of fresh air. There have been several teases about the next trailer for the film being released during the Super Bowl and now that’s been confirmed. During Super Bowl LVII, Paramount Pictures released a brand new trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

What is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts about?
Directed by Creed II’s Steven Caple Jr., Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is officially described as follows: “Returning to the action and spectacle that first captured moviegoers around the world 14 years ago with the original Transformers, Transformers: Rise of the Beastswill take audiences on a ’90s globetrotting adventure and introduce the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.” Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback lead the human cast for the film which includes some surprising voice actors like Ron Perlman as the gorilla-inspired Optimus Primal, Michelle Yeoh as fellow Maximal Airazor, and Pete Davidson as Autobot Mirage.
“When I met Lorenzo and the team, I was like, where are we picking this thing up from? And he was like 1994. And I was just like, that’s a great era,” Rise of the Beastsdirector Steven Caple Jr. previously said. “You know what I mean? It has a lot of texture. It’s, it’s rich in texture is also vibrant culturally. And as he said, it has like classic music and there’s a certain energy to the nineties that I’m looking forward to capture. Like we’ve seen it on screen very few times, sometimes you can play into it too much, but I think there’s a level of like realness that I could bring to it.”
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts hits theaters on June 9, 2023.
