Bumblebee provided a new spark to the franchise, and that is set to continue in Rise of the Beasts. Ramos explained to Collider:
“Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who’s one of our lead producers on the movie, came up to me and said, ‘How are you feeling about the movie, man?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know, I haven’t seen it.’ And he was like, […] ‘It’s rivaling right there with the first one.’
“I was like, ‘Wow!’ That movie was the introduction of the franchise, so it almost feels like an introduction into a new franchise. It feels like the beginning of a new thing, which feels amazing. Steven Caple Jr., our director, is amazing. Dominique Fishback, Pete Davidson, and the cast is insane. I’m just grateful to be there.”
You’ll be able to see Mirage in action along with the rest of the Transformers, Beasts, and humans, when Transformers: Rise of the Beasts hits theaters on June 9, 2023.
