The Transformers universe’s about to crank things up—again. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts 2 is in the pipeline, with Paramount eyeing a trilogy that promises to bring even more Beast Wars action. Before you transform and roll out, another movie is thrown into the mix, one that’s not even part of this storyline. We’re talking about Blue Beetle director Ángel Manuel Soto’s upcoming Transformers film, which has fans scratching their heads and asking, “Wait, how many Transformers movies are we getting?!”
Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura recently gave a cryptic update on Soto’s untitled project. Spoiler alert: the script is still cooking. Meanwhile, we’ve got the animated prequel Transformers One dropping next year, telling the backstory of how Cybertron fell to the Decepticons. But, back to the sequel at hand—Rise of the Beasts 2. Let’s get into what you want to know.
Noah Diaz Is (Probably) Back, and So Is the Gang
No cast list has been officially confirmed for Rise of the Beasts 2, but let’s be honest. They can only make this movie with returning Anthony Ramos as Noah Diaz, right? The guy helped save the world in the last one, so expect him to be right there alongside Optimus Prime, fighting whatever massive, universe-ending threat is next on the checklist. And, of course, Dominique Fishback’s Elena Wallace, the archeologist with the brains, will probably be back too, continuing her journey with Noah.
And let’s remember the Autobots themselves. Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime, so expect him to lend his iconic voice again. The real question: Will Pete Davidson’s motor-mouthed Mirage return to drop some hilarious quips? Fans sure hope so. Also, the rest of the voice crew, like Cristo Fernández’s Wheeljack and Michelle Yeoh’s Airazor, will probably get their call-ups too.
But there’s a lot more at stake this time.
Big Bad Unicron Is on the Horizon
Now, about that plot. Here’s the deal: Rise of the Beasts 2 will likely go full throttle on the Beast Wars storyline. And who’s waiting in the shadows? The planet-sized menace himself—Unicron. If you thought the Decepticons were evil, Unicron makes them look like they’re playing with toy cars. Beasts set up Unicron as the trilogy’s ultimate big bad, and if we know anything about this franchise, things will only get way crazier.
The second chapter will likely dig deeper into the clash between the Autobots and Maximals versus whatever chaos Unicron unleashes. And Hailee Steinfeld’s Charlie Watson (from Bumblebee) could even pop back into the story. Remember, Bumblebee was set in the 1980s, while Rise of the Beasts gave us a nostalgic trip to the ’90s. Could the next movie fast-forward into the 2000s to line up with Michael Bay’s explosion-packed originals? Or will it keep the retro vibes alive? Either way, expect some severe timeline hopping.
And don’t forget—this is part of a trilogy. So, we’re talking about multiple films where anything could happen. Who knows? Maybe we’ll see crossovers, surprise character appearances, or even more G.I. Joe teases. (Fingers crossed.)
But here’s the twist—there’s no telling yet how Soto’s separate Transformers project will fit into the grand scheme. Will it be a prequel? A spinoff? Does it tie into the Rise of the Beasts universe at all? It’s still up in the air, and fans are left guessing how this connects.
So, get ready because the Transformers universe is gearing up for a wild ride. With Rise of the Beasts 2 locked in for more action, Unicron on the horizon, and new projects in the works, the franchise is looking to deliver that one-two punch we’ve been waiting for!
