FULL STORY ======================================================================

Another Transformers movie is on the way, and this one has a slightly odd title itll be called Rise of the Beasts.

The name was revealed at a virtual press event, alongside a release date of June 24, 2022. The film will be helmed by Creed 2 director Steven Caple Jr, and take place in 90s New York.

A press release suggests Rise of the Beasts, which will become the seventh mainline Transformers movie since 2007, will introduce the Maximals,
Predacons and Terrorcons to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons." New Suicide Squad trailer reveals the impossibly huge Starro Borderlands movie wraps filming and Jack Blacks Claptrap is revealed Final Fantasy 9 animated series is apparently in the works

For the uninitiated, Maximals are a subgroup of animal-like Autobot
ancestors, while both the Predacons and Terrorcons are Decepticons (though also typically transform into animal-like machines). Basically, you can
expect robot dogs to appear in this one.

Following the announcement, Fandom's Eric Goldman took to Twitter to share further details surrounding the project. In one post, Goldman claims its producers felt like the previous movies had exhausted the Autobot vs. Decepticon battle on its own, hence the desire to look at different tribes of Transformers. Predacons, Maximals, and Terrorcons are part of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura says they felt like the previous movies had exhausted the Autobot vs. Decepticon battle on its own. They wanted to look at different "tribes" of Transformers.

Goldman also added that Rise of the Beasts will avoid the timeframe of Michaels Bays previous entries in the franchise, and that the studio is not considering this a full reboot of what came before.

Optimus Prime will, however, once again be the movies main hero as per information disclosed in the press event and do battle with Scourge, its primary antagonist.

Goldmans tweets suggest production art shown to event attendees revealed the villain has big clawed hands and smoking exhaust ports on [his] shoulders though, at this point, were still in the dark about Scourges motivations.
Were betting its one of either revenge or world domination, though. The main villain is Scourge. Production art we are shown is very ominous looking - big clawed hands and smoking exhaust ports on shoulders. He takes the symbols
from his victims and fuses them onto his body as trophies. #Transformers June 22, 2021 See more

As for its cast, Rise of the Beasts will star In the Heights Anthony Ramos as Noah, an army veteran, alongside Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse star Luna Lauren Vlez and Project Powers Dominique Fishback. Transformers fever

Rise of the Beasts isnt the only Transformers movie currently in development, either.

Another as-yet-unnamed project, directed by Charm City Kings' Angel Manuel Soto and written by The Defenders showrunner Marco Ramirez, is confirmed to
be in the works so expect a flurry of shape-shifting super soldiers over the next few years.

Given that the last film in the franchise, 2018s Bumblebee, focused on the plight of a single Transformer, theres every chance that Sotos project will likewise centre around an individual Transformers character, though we dont have any plot details for that one just yet.

In the meantime, we await the arrival of Rise of the Beasts with bated breath
or a mild degree of enthusiasm, at least. Netflix lands deal with Steven Spielberg for new movies
