*The first teaser trailer for “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” nearly broke the internet with 494 million global and cross-platform views.
According to Paramount via TheWrap, the trailer outperformed the newly released “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” trailer (182 million views) and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” trailer (77 million).
Per the official synopsis: Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce a whole new breed of Transformer – the Maximals – to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.

Caple Jr. spoke to BET recently about the film being led by “Black and Brown people,” and how this representation is so very important to the “Transformers” franchise now.
The film takes the Autobots, Maximals, and Terrorcons to the streets of New York, which Ramos said in the same interview is an added bonus “for all my homies in the projects.”
“We created something special, and it feels great to be in this position,” the director said. “We’re doing our best to carry this weight,” he added, noting how this new Transformers narrative will bring Black and Latino “culture” and “people” into a franchise in ways that were lacking in the previous films.
In addition to Ramous and Fishback, the film also stars Tobe Nwigwe, Ron Perlman, Liza Koshy, John DiMaggio, David Sobolov, and Pete Davidson.
“Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” arrives in theatres June 9, 2023.
