Following the release of the action-packed first trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Deadline (via SFFGazette.com) has shared a slew of exciting new casting additions to the movie. 

The trade reveals that Paramount has tapped Peter Dinklage (as the voice of Scourge), Liza Koshy (as the voice of Arcee), John DiMaggio (as the voice of Stratosphere), David Sobolov (as the voice of Rhinox/Battletrap), Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (as the voice of  Nightbird), Cristo Fernández (as the voice of Wheeljack), and Tobe Nwigwe (as the voice of Reek).

They now join an impressive ensemble that includes Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, with Michelle Yeoh, Pete Davidson, Peter Cullen, and Ron Perlman lending heir voices to Airazor, Mirage, Optimus Prime, and Optimus Primal, respectively. 

Dinklage is the biggest addition here, and we're sure you'll remember the Emmy-winning actor from his work in Game of Thrones and Avengers: Infinity War. Koshy is best known for the Boo! A Madea Halloween franchise, while DiMaggio is the voice of Bender in Futurama. 

Sobolov previously voiced Blitzwing in Bumblebee, Rodriguez has starred in Luke Cage and tick, tick…Boom!, while Fernandez is best known for playing Dani Rojas in Ted Lasso. As for Nwigwe, he's a rapper who was nominated for Best New Artist at the 65th Grammy Awards.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts looks set to be a fresh start for the long-running franchise, and a movie that's akin to Bumblebee on a far more epic scale. Finding the right balance between what we saw in that film and Michael Bay's movies is key, and it looks like director Steven Caple Jr. has nailed it. 

"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," reads the brief synopsis.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is set to be released in theatres on June 9, 2023.

Yes, but will Peter Dinklage have all his voice work redone by Nolan North?!?

@xfan320 - Ghost understands that reference.

@xfan320 @TheVandalore - I liked Dinklage as Ghost, but Nolan was a far better voice. Although I might be biased because I played Destiny 2 way more than 1

Garry Chalk sits at home sad, because once again these dumb ass execs think they need to use an actor instead of a VOICE ACTOR for the character. Idiots

Im too lazy to look it up right now, any my memory is notoriously whack, but wasnt Keith David the original Primal and wasnt he announced he would be returning for this a bit ago? or am i smoking too many crack rocks?

wonder if Megatron will be in this one. they seem weird about using him in this current series.

@Dredd97 - Well, although it depends on who you ask at Hasbro/Paramont, the general consensus is that although "Bumblebee" is considered a soft reboot of the franchise, it is still in the Bay movie continuity, hence why Travis Knight wasn't allowed to use Megatron in the Cybertron intro scene in "Bumblebee" as Megs would still be frozen in the Arctic as we found him in "TF1". So if they stick to that then they only way we'd see him would be in a WAY back flashback on Cybertron.

Well that's quite the voice cast, although I'm somewhat bummed Grey DeLisle isn't returning to voice Arcee, I'm just happy the character is finally getting her time in the spotlight after small cameos.

@FusionWarrior - she looks straight out of 86. If they kill any of them off in this movie I’m going to lose my mind.

@dragon316 - I’m glad with this and Bumblebee, the directors seem to be given free reign to keep the crew that have made the Transformers flicks what they are, while also being allowed to let their usual collaborators come along whenever they feel right for the material and such.

Interesting choices (though David Sobolov sounds like a perfect choice to voice Rhinox).

For anyone interested, "Stratosphere" was the name of a TF toy from the "Revenge of the Fallen" movie line. He's based on the cargo plane that Prime jumps out of when he goes after Demolisher (the steam shovel guy) in the beginning of that movie. He also appears in the "Dark of the Moon" game as well as a movie tie-in comic. Not sure if he's intended to be the same character or a new one altogether, but if he is the same character then he could be how the Autobots get to Peru.

"Reek", on the other hand, is a totally new character as far as I know, but if I had to take a guess I'd say he's probably one of the Terrorcons, as they're currently looking a little light with just the three embers that we know of and not quite the threat that Primal refers to in the trailer.
