"Transformers" is going into Beast Mode. Look out, Brooklyn.
On Tuesday, director Steven Caple Jr. and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura shared major changes coming to the seventh installment of the mega-franchise during a virtual event Tuesday to mark the beginning of production.
The battle is moving to 1994 Brooklyn, New York, for the new film titled "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts," featuring new humans stars Anthony Ramos ("In the Heights") and Dominique Fishback ("Judas the Black Messiah").
"Rise of the Beasts" will bring back fan-favorite leader Optimus Prime and introduce characters from "Beast Wars," the 1990s "Transformers" animated series, into the long-running Earth movie battle between the Autobots and evil Decepticons.
"There are different breeds of Transformers," said Caple Jr.
