The Upcoming Film ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ Director Reveals A Video Of Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime

The Transformers franchise has been around for more than 30 years, but there is one thing that has never changed: Optimus Prime. The leader of the Autobots, Optimus is always a fan favorite in the series. But until now, we had never heard Peter Cullen’s iconic voice coming through his mouth. Fortunately, director Steven Caple Jr. took some time to upload a video from his phone where he revealed him and Cullen speaking to each other as Optimus Prime for the first time – and it sounds pretty great. Transformers: Rise of the Beast will mark the first live-action Transformers movie to be released without Michael Bay at the helm. Instead, it will be directed by Creed II director Steven Caple Jr. and if the first trailer is any indicator, the film will be very different than any of the films that came before it. In this trailer, we get to see a close-up of a talking Optimus Prime and hear his deep, battle-worn voice for the first time.

What is the film about?
Transformers: The Rise of the Beast is a science fiction action film. It combines elements from the entire franchise in a well-paced and exciting manner that enraptured its audience with its well-written characters, intense imagery, and beautiful fight scenes. We highly recommend this film for all sci-fi enthusiasts, fans of alien invasion films, as well as anyone who enjoys watching high-quality action films. The series follows the adventures of sentient robots called Transformers. The Autobots are good and the Decepticons are bad. They are both oppressed by the human race, which at times seems to turn a blind eye to the robots’ existence. This results in a war between the two factions and forces of terror, as well as a race against time to save the Earth from extinction by preventively destroying all remaining Cybertronian lifeforms and freeing the world from their control.
what fans are expecting from the upcoming film?
Fans are excited and anticipating this film for many reasons. First, it is the first live-action Transformers film without Michael Bay at the helm. Second, it is a new take on the story that has been told numerous times in the franchise. Third, it will be the first film where we get to see Optimus Prime speak. Fans hope to see a change in direction because there are a lot of repeating details and certain tropes that are present in every Transformers film; for example, Transformers can disguise themselves as humans or interact with animals. In recent films like this – we saw characters “transform” at will by accessing their car mode or some kind of mechanical vehicle. Fans are curious to see what the director is going to do with this latest installment in the series. We highly recommend this film for all sci-fi enthusiasts, fans of alien invasion films, as well as anyone who enjoys watching high-quality action films.
What will be the target audience?
Transformers: The Rise of the Beast targets people who enjoy watching science fiction movies and alien invasion films. Science fiction enthusiasts will enjoy the special effects, which are done by Industrial Light & Magic. They will also enjoy the characters and storyline in this film, which comprises a variety of themes and characteristics that can be enjoyed by all ages. Adult fans of the franchise will appreciate its nostalgia factor as they get to see some old favorites make their debut on the screen once again – including Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Starscream.
