‘Transformers 7: Rise of the Beasts’: Everything We Know So Far

Are you ready for a new Transformers movie? The Transformer film franchise is now taking things to a new level! Serving as a direct sequel to 2018’s critically acclaimed Bumblebee and the seventh installment of the live-action Transformers film series, the next film will be titled, 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.' 'Rise of the Beasts' is a cinematic, live-action adaptation of the CGI animated series 'Beast Wars: Transformers.'  'The Beast Wars' animated series launched to promote the line of Transformers toys in 1996. The difference between this group of robots and traditional Transformers was that they transform into robotic animals instead of vehicles. 'Rise of the Beasts,' helmed by 'Creed ll' director Steven Caple Jr., continues the story that began in Bumblebee, this time taking place in Brooklyn circa 1994. The script comes from Darnell Metayer and Josh Peters. Take a look below at some of the latest updates for 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.'
