( Creed II) is directing from a script by Darnell Metayer and Josh Peters, who worked off an earlier draft by Joby Harold. Rise of the Beasts will be led by rising stars Anthony Ramos ( In the Heights) and Dominique Fishback ( Judas and the Black Messiah), and Steven Caple Jr. The next live-action Transformers movie will center on the Beast Wars, and the globetrotting story - which is set in the '90s - will introduce the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on Earth between Autobots and Decepticons. And for those wondering, yes, Peter Cullen will return to voice Optimus Prime in the character's G1 robot form, and the movie's plot will reveal why the Cybertronian has a connection to Earth and humanity. Optimus Primal is the fearless leader of the Maximals, and though Perlman did not voice Primal in the original Beast Wars: Transformers series - that was Garry Chalk - he did voice the character in the animated series Transformers: Power of the Primes.

Ron Perlman has been tapped to voice Optimus Primal in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Collider has exclusively learned.
