Premise

Development

In December 2018, when asked about the future of the Transformers franchise, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura stated that "another big Transformers movie" would be produced and that it would be "different than the ones that we've done before". He described the process as more of an "evolution", saying that there is more freedom to create and what they can do with it. After the success of Bumblebee, he acknowledged that the series will make some changes in tone and style, inspired by the film.[16]

Director Travis Knight said his goal was to return to his animation studio Laika,[17] though he acknowledged that he has a few ideas for a Bumblebee sequel.[18] John Cena expressed interest in reprising his role in a sequel.[19] Writer Christina Hodson said that "[she] knows where [she wants] to go with the next one".[20] In late January 2019, a sequel was announced, due to the film's international box office performance.[21] In March, di Bonaventura confirmed they were developing a script for a Bumblebee sequel.[22]

In January 2020, Paramount Pictures was reportedly working on two different Transformers films, one written by James Vanderbilt and another written by Joby Harold.[23] In November, Steven Caple Jr. was hired to direct Harold's script.[24] On February, it was revealed that the film was going under the working title Transformers: Beast Alliance, hinting the introduction of characters from the Beast Wars franchise.[25] During a virtual event held by Paramount in June, di Bonaventura and Caple revealed the official title as Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (revealing to be both a Bumblebee sequel and Beast Wars film in one),[3] and confirming that it would feature the Terrorcons, the Maximals, and the Predacons, and serve as a direct prequel to Transformers (2007) in addition to a direct sequel to Bumblebee.[1] The visual effects for the Beast Wars characters will be provided by the Moving Picture Company.[26] The film's tone and action were heavily influenced by Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).[27]

Casting

In April 2021, Anthony Ramos was cast for the lead role in the film.[28] Later that month, Dominique Fishback was cast opposite Ramos.[29] It was also revealed that Darnell Metayer and Josh Peters had been hired to rewrite Harold's screenplay.[29] In June, actress Lauren Vélez revealed that she has a role in the sequel.[30] In the same month, Peter Cullen was confirmed to return as Optimus Prime for the film,[3] and Ron Perlman was announced to be reprising his role as Optimus Primal from the Transformers: Power of the Primes web series a week later.[2] In July, Tobe Nwigwe revealed that he had a role in the film.[8]

Filming

Principal photography began on June 7, 2021, in Los Angeles.[31] Filming also took place at Machu Picchu,[3] Montreal[32] and in Brooklyn. On October 20, it was announced that filming had officially wrapped.[33]

Release

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on June 9, 2023, by Paramount Pictures. The film was delayed from it's initial release date of June 24 2022.[34]
