The Autobots versus Decepticons’ war continues in Steven Caple Jr.’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts this June 9. Continuing the live-action legacy of Michael Bay’s metal-morphing vision, Rise of the Beasts finally brings the Maximals and Terrorcons to life, and Collider’s Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to sit down with Peter Dinklage, the voice of one of these malevolent bots, to discuss joining the Transformers Universe.

Rise of the Beasts takes place in the mid-nineties, a time before Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) was the confident leader we know him to be. At this point, Autobots and Maximals have been hiding out on Earth for centuries, but something treacherous is coming, and Optimus finds himself joining forces with Optimus Primal (voiced by Ron Perlman) and humans like Noah Diaz (Anthony Ramos) and Elena Wallace (Dominique Fishback) to prepare for the oncoming battle ahead. In particular, audiences will meet the Terrorcons, led by Dinklage’s Scourge, who critics are calling “a terrifying and powerful villain.” Rise of the Beasts also features Michelle Yeoh, Pete Davidson, Luna Lauren Velez, and John DiMaggio.

Best known for his unforgettable portrayal of Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, Dinklage discusses what it was about lending his voice to “a robot from a different galaxy,” who he admits “has a bit of an evil streak,” that appealed to him, as well as why he finds voice acting “liberating.” He also talks about working with Caple Jr., the new merch he doesn’t claim ownership of, and upcoming projects like Brothers with Josh Brolin and joining another big fandom in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. You can check out all of this and more in the video or transcript below.
