Ron Perlman will be the voice of Optimus Primal in the live action Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts. Optimus Primal is the leader of the Maximals (the good guys) from the Transformers Beast Wars cartoon from the 90s. The news of Perlman is sure to make some people go Ape over it (yes pun intended).
Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts was announced last week as the next live action Transformers movie. It will focus on the fight between the beast Transformers group of the Maximals, Predacons and Terrorcons. It will also link to the other Transformers movies and will have the Autobots leader, Optimus Prime in this film. This movie will be set in 1994 (same time of the Beast Wars cartoon). The movie is expected out June 24, 2022.
Perlman is known for numerous roles. Some of the include Beast from the Beauty and the Beast live action series from the 80s, Hellboy, Slade in the Teen Titans cartoon, and Clay Morrow on Sons of Anarchy. Perlman has voiced Optimus Primal before in the 2018 Transformers: Power of the Primes TV Mini Series.
