‘Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts’ Reveals Details On Human Characters Played By Anthony Ramos And Dominique Fishback
The absolute last thing the world needs right now, or ever again, is a newTransformersmovie, but hey, we’re getting one anyway. It’s calledTransformers: Rise of the Beasts, and it’s bringingBeast Warsinto the mix. The first real details about the newTransformersmoviearrived today, and they hint at a franchise that’s ready to go back to the drawing board and start all over again. Because movie franchises never die, folks. They just get reincarnated. As robot animals.
Anyway, let’s take a look at the real reason everyone watches these movies: the human characters! This time, they’re played byAnthony RamosandDominique Fishback. Here’s what we know about them.
Meet the Humans!
The one thing everyone wants to see in aTransformersmovie: humans! Remember Cade Yeager? Remember Sam Witwicky? Who can forget such wonderful, well-rounded, iconic characters? Not me. And now it’s time to hand the torch to a new generation of humans. Humans that will get to run around sets looking up at absolutely nothing while pretending they’re speaking to giant, hideous machines.
This time, the humans will be played by Anthony Ramos, who is coming off the surprise box office flopIn the Heights, and Dominique Fishback, who was recently inJudas and the Black Messiah. Ramos will play Noah, a guy from Brooklyn who lives with his mother and brother. He’s ex-military and came back home “trying to find his way.” He’s always hustling and fixing up electronics (which means he’ll probably fix up one of the Transformers at one point, obviously). Fishback is Elena, an artifact researcher at a museum who keeps having credit for her work stolen by her boss. How do these characters end up involved with Transfomer antics? We don’t know yet.
