In a fiendishly clever scheme to play with people’s emotions, Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts<\/em><\/span> <\/em>director Steven Caple Jr. shared a couple of big casting announcements on his Instagram today that seem carefully designed to trick you into conceding that you might be kind of interested in seeing Rise Of The Beasts<\/em>. The first new addition to the cast is Pete Davidson, who people tend to have\u2026 a strong opinion about\u2026 and the other is Michelle Yeoh, who is great and universally beloved. <\/p>\n

So, if you like her in Everything Everywhere All At Once<\/em>surely you must <\/em>like every in Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts<\/em>, regardless of how many Pete Davidsons are in it! Ergo, you should like Rise Of The Beasts<\/em>! And if that’s the case, we have some other recommendations for you to check out (but not now, we don’t have time for that).<\/p>\n

Caple’s Instagram post explains<\/span> that Davidson is playing Mirage, an original G1 Autobot who turned into an old ’70s-style Formula 1 car in the cartoon (but he’ll be a Porsche in Rise Of The Beasts<\/em><\/span>, even though there were a ton of Autobots who turned into 911s and none of them were Mirage). Yeoh will be Airazor, who isn’t an Autobot at all. She’s one of the eponymous beasts, and in the ’90s Beast Wars <\/em>cartoon, she was a robot who turned into a bird. She’s also one of the only female Cybertronian characters in the original Transformers <\/em>continuity, assuming you count Beast Wars <\/em>as part of the original continuity, which you should (we don’t have time to get into this!).<\/p>\n
