Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is a 2023 American science fiction action film based on Hasbro's Transformers toy line and primarily influenced by the Beast Wars storyline. The film is the seventh installment in the Transformers film series and a stand-alone sequel to Bumblebee (2018).[5] The film is directed by Steven Caple Jr. from a screenplay by Joby Harold, Darnell Metayer, Josh Peters, Erich Hoeber, and Jon Hoeber. It will star Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Luna Lauren Vélez and Tobe Nwigwe in his film debut, as well the voice talents of Ron Perlman, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, Pete Davidson, Liza Koshy, Cristo Fernández, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, and previous voice actors, Peter Cullen, John DiMaggio and David Sobolov.

Following the critical and commercial success of Bumblebee, Paramount and Hasbro announced a sequel would be happening in early 2019. In November 2020, Caple was hired as director for the film, becoming the first filmmaker of color to direct a live-action Transformers film. By 2021, Ramos and Fishback were cast in the lead human roles, in a first for the franchise having its main leads being actors of color, and details for the film were revealed that summer in a virtual event held by Paramount.[6] Like its predecessor, it is the second Transformers live-action film not to be directed by Michael Bay, who once again serves as producer.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on June 9, 2023, by Paramount Pictures. Two sequels are in development.
