When Transformers: Rise of the Beasts rolls out into theaters on June 9th, it will be the franchise’s first return to the big screen in five years. The follow-up to 2018’s Bumblebee takes place in 1994 with a new cast of humans (Ironheart‘s Anthony Ramos and Swarm‘s Dominique Fishback) and a new breed of Transformer: the Maximals. The robot beasts must unite with the hidden Autobots trying to return to their home world Cybertron — Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), Bumblebee, Mirage (Pete Davidson), and Arcee (Liza Koshy) — before Scourge (Peter Dinklage) and his Terrorcons can use an ancient artifact to summon Unicron (Colman Domingo) and destroy Earth.
Noah (Ramos) and Elena (Fishback) join forces with the Autobots to try and prevent Earth’sannihilation, but even the heroic ‘bots are unprepared for the powerful faction of Transformers beings— simian warrior Optimus Primal (Ron Perlman), the soaring Airazor(Michelle Yeoh), the majestic Cheetor (Tongayi Chirisa), and thearmor-plated Rhinox (David Sobolov) — who might hold the key to reuniting the Autobots with their home world of Cybertron.

“You don’t need to know much. If anything, Bumblebee got here in1987, along with Optimus Prime, and they’ve tried to seek refuge onEarth until they can get back to Cybertron. Ultimately, all you need toknow is that they’re trying to get back to Cybertron,” director Steven Caple Jr. explained about the new movie, which stands alone from Bumblebee and Michael Bay’s first franchise-spawning Transformers movie. “If you can go into this movie just knowing that piece of information,you’ll be able to track it completely. It doesn’t mess up any of thetimeline in 2006, 2007. We’re actually going in a direction that allowsus to protect that side of the universe, but that’s all you need toknow.”
