Transformers 7: “You’ve never met an enemy like this” … Rise of the Beasts promises a very heavy

The return of Transformers to cinema is fast approaching. On June 7, the toy-inspired action sci-fi of the same name will return to the big screen with a seventh installment and a prequel.

As the new trailer tells us again, the action of this opus will take place in 1994 and partly in New York, at a time when the World Trade Center was still standing, which reminds us of one of the plans of the video.

Because it’s in the Big Apple that new hero Noah Diaz (Anthony Ramos) will meet Mirage (voiced by Mr. V in the French version). Also Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and other Autobots hidden on Earth.

Unfortunately for him and Elena Wallace (Dominic Fishback), the wonder of turning machines into giant robots will be short-lived. Because the Autobots’ sworn enemies, the Decepticons, will threaten Earth in order to defeat their adversaries.

But, and this is the main news with the title of this episode Rise of the BeastsThe new Transformers will support the heroes: the Maximals, machines that take on the appearance of animals (in particular, Optimus Primal and his gorilla, which we see in action in an impressive excerpt from the end of the trailer). Predacons turned into dinosaurs and Terrorcons into evil mythological creatures.

Directed by Stephen Caple Jr. (Creed II), who follows Michael Bay and Travis Knight (Bumblebee) behind the camera, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts shouldn’t be playing small guns when it’s announced as the first part of a new trilogy that should logically connect the franchise’s feature films. , which were released in 2007 and 2017.

We will meet on June 7 to introduce the new version of the saga. And see if Steven Caple Jr. pays homage to the disaster movies of the ’90s, a register that Michael Bay contributed somewhat to thanks to Armageddon before Transformers hit the big screen.
