10 Movie Sequels You Didn't Realise Were Happening

It's safe to say that next to no one was really desperately clamouring to see yet another chunk of robot-fighting and mechanical mayhem be pumped into existence on the back of the last lacklustre Transformers blockbuster, The Last Knight.

But then a little spin-off picture by the name of Bumblebee became a thing in 2018 and appeared to almost single-handedly jumpstart a new wave of interest in all things Autobots and Decepticons.

So much so that yet another attempt to restore some respect to the Transformers brand is very much on its way into theatres next year, with Rise of the Beasts picking up a few years after the events of the aforementioned Bumblebee tale.

This time around, the flick will see figures and creatures from the Beast Wars spin-off TV series introduced into the transforming bot mix, with Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons all set to make their presence known during the 2023 outing.

And joining a returning Peter Cullen as the unmistakable voice of Optimus Prime is none other than Ron Perlman going full Optimus Primal, too!

If all that wasn't enough, a brand new trilogy is also expected to get underway following on from Rise of the Beasts... so buckle up for an endless supply of bashing robots.
