'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' has added Michelle Yeoh and Pete Davidson to its voice cast.
Michelle Yeoh and Pete Davidson have signed on to lend their voices to next year's Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. The film, directed by Steven Caple Jr. , will serve as a soft reboot for the Michael Bay series which originated in 2007. The Beast Wars storyline will serve as the film's concept, with this being the big screen introduction to the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons, three distinct factions of Transformers.
Davidson has been cast as Mirage, an Autobot whose disguise is a silver-blue Porsche 964. This character did appear in 2011's Transformers: Dark of the Moon, voiced by the late Francesco Quinn. Yeoh will lend her voice to the Maximal known as Airazor. This character's disguise is a peregrine falcon, following the custom of Maximals disguising as animals. Only one other Maximal has been cast in Optimus Primal, with Ron Perlman voicing the character.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback portray the film's human leads. Ramos has been cast as an ex-military electronics expert named Noah, while Fishback is Elena, an artifact researcher who works in a museum. Additionally, Peter Cullen will return to lend his iconic voice to Optimus Prime, following the precedent of voicing the infamous Autobot from the cartoons to the live action films. Luna Lauren Vélez and Tobe Nwigwe have been cast in undisclosed roles.
Rise of the Beasts will mark the first Transformers film since 2018's Bumblebee, which starred Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena. Like Rise of the Beasts, Bumblebee served as an offshoot to the primary Transformers film storyline, taking place in the 1980s and serving as a prequel of sorts to the titular Autobot. Since that film debuted, Paramount has been eager to continue the franchise, getting to work on Rise of the Beasts.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts lands in theaters on June 9, 2023. Check out Caple Jr.'s post announcing the new castings below:
