The first trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the seventh film in the Hasbro franchise, which is scheduled for release on June 9, 2023, has been released by Paramount Pictures. The most recent film introduces the Predacons, Terrorcons, and Maximals with animal themes.

The next action movie from Creed II filmmaker Steven Caple Jr. stars Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback. Ramos portrays Noah, a former military electronics expert who supports his family by living with them in Brooklyn, and Fishback portrays Elena, a museum artifact researcher.

Peter Cullen, who has lent his voice to Autobots leader Optimus Prime throughout the franchise’s run, will also be seen reprising his role. The film centers on Optimus in 1990s Brooklyn and is inspired by the franchise’s Beast Wars storyline.

Rise of the Beasts is a  sequel to Bumblebee, which starred Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena in 2018. That prequel movie, which focused on the endearing yellow Autobot, acted as a reboot for the Transformers series, whose first five films were directed by Michael Bay. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura stated that with the success of Bumblebee, the series would vary in tone and style to help set them apart from the first five Bay movies. With two additional sequels now under preparation, Rise of the Beasts also serves as the first installment of a planned trilogy.
