Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is ready to roll out in style. To celebrate the upcoming release of the 7th live-action installment in the Transformers franchise, Paramount headed to SXSW Festival in Texas, and they brought some friends along for the journey. Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Tobe Nwigwe, Steven Caple Jr. and Lorenzo di Bonavenutra attended this year’s SXSW and actually unveiled some incredibly awesome statues that’ll be touring the world as part of Rise of the Beasts marketing campaign. The tour will take the colossal Transformers to Las Vegas, Chicago, New York, Brazil, Singapore and Japan.
In addition to revealing the huge statues of Optimus and Optimus Primal, we also received some brand new character posters. Check out Optimus, Primal, and Mirage in these absolutely stunning posters. With a whole new list of characters joining the live-action franchise, we’re hoping to get even more character posters later down the line.
Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce whole new breeds of Transformers – the Maximals, Predacons and Terrorcons – to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.
The upcoming sequel from Paramount Pictures is directed by Steven Caple Jr and stars Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, and Luna Lauren Velez. In addition to that, the legend that is Peter Cullen will be back to voice the great Optimus Prime alongside Ron Perlman who will voice Optimus Primal, a transforming gorilla and leader of the Maximals. The cast also includes Peter Dinklage (Scourge), Liza Koshy (Arcee), John DiMaggio (Stratosphere), David Sobolov (Rhinox/Battletrap), Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (Nightbird), Cristo Fernández (Wheeljack), and Tobe Nwigwe (Reek), Michelle Yeoh (Airazor), and Pete Davidson (Mirage).
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will be unleashed in cinemas on June 9th, 2023. Don’t forget to check out more from the world of Transformers right here.
