After leading the last two Transformers films, his absence has aroused concern among fans of the saga
Many fans of the saga of Michael Bay and Paramount have wondered why the actor Mark Wahlberg He does not participate in this installment after being the ‘protagonist of the previous two. Once the actor entered the franchise, the box office results improved and allowed him to make a second film, but his absence in this third has been the cause of speculation, but everything has a much simpler explanation.
The ‘Transformers’ franchise has taken a different path than Wahlberg had traveled until now. It’s a matter of timeline.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is a prequel
And it is that the saga changes perspective, and after introducing the actors Dominique Fishback y Anthony Ramos as human protagonists, the film will introduce more creatures than the eternal Transformers and the Decepticons.
Expand the franchise with new characters like the Maximalslos Terrocons and the Predacons in an attempt to revitalize the franchise and increase merchandising and toys that will help sustain the franchise well into the future. It is confirmed that the tape will take place in the year 1994, that is, 13 years before the events told in the original films.
This is the main reason that Wahlberg is not in this installment, since some 24 years must still pass until the protagonist crosses his path with Optimus Prime. The inclusion of a new, and younger, cast is another of Bay’s strategies to rejuvenate the saga and make it more diverse. A whole explosion of imagination.
