New Transformers: Age of Extinction teasers reveal more of Dinobots and villains

We’re only a few weeks away from the premiere of Transformers: Age Of Extinction, so it’s no surprise that more promotional footage from the film is making its way online. Two of the recent previews offer fans a bit more of both the villains set to be introduced, plus the long-awaited debut of the Dinobots.

In a television spot that debuted at CraveOnline, the raging Dinobots get the spotlight, with a brief scene featuring fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus Rex ‘bot Grimlock letting loose with a roar at Stanley Tucci while Mark Wahlberg stands nearby. The 15-second teaser closes with a sequence that answers one of the big questions fans have been asking about Age Of Extinction, as Grimlock is seen bellowing flames on a bridge then transforming into his humanoid robot form. So there you have it, Transformers fans: Grimlock will indeed transform.

As for the second television spot to arrive online recently, the new footage provided by Paramount Pictures puts the emphasis on the film’s villains, revealing the facial features of gun-faced robot assassin Lockdown (voiced by Mark Ryan) and hinting that the new, alien threat to the Autobots may have come to Earth on another character’s orders. There are also a few good scenes of the glorious, mechanized carnage created by the Dinobots as Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) rides Grimlock into battle.

You can watch both teasers below, and see the full film when Transformers: Age of Extinction arrives in theaters June 27.

The Old Guard 2 cast chooses iconic movie moments to witness for the first time
A group of soldiers stand in the dirt in The Old Guard 2.

Internet culture in the Digital Age moves at the snap of a finger. Thanks to the social media algorithm, what's popular today might not be talked about tomorrow. Five years feels like a lifetime. That's how long it's been since The Old Guard premiered on Netflix. It's fitting that a follow-up to a movie about a team of immortals would take its time before hitting the service. Mortals, rejoice. The wait is over. The Old Guard 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Charlize Theron returns for the action-packed sequel as Andy, the leader of a team of immortal mercenaries who serve as protectors of the world. The team consists of immortals Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), and Nicky (Luca Marinelli), along with a mortal, James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Speaking of finite creatures, Andy now copes with her mortality, which affects every decision, knowing she can finally die. Andy and her team will be tested with the arrival of Discord (Uma Thurman), the very first immortal with a sinister plan that threatens the universe. To defeat Discord, Andy seeks the help of an old friend, Tuah (Henry Golding), who may hold the secrets of immortality.

Matt Damon stares with a helmet on.

The most anticipated movie of 2026 is not up for debate. Apologies to fans of Avengers: Doomsday, Dune: Messiah, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but those movies pale in comparison to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

For his follow-up to Oppenheimer, Nolan is adapting Homer's Greek epic poem about the legend of Odysseus. The Odyssey is in production and well over a year away from hitting theaters. The first teaser trailer has been released. However, there is a catch.

Jurassic World Rebirth review: A fun but all-too familiar blockbuster
Jurassic World Rebirth: a sequel that brings some life back to an exhausted franchise
A man and woman hide in a field and stare curiously in "Jurassic World Rebirth."

Director Gareth Edwards (The Creator) has brought audiences back to the land of dinosaurs with his film, Jurassic World Rebirth. This standalone sequel to Jurassic World Dominion follows a team of hired operatives as they journey to an island inhabited by mutant dinosaurs, which were left behind by Jurassic World researchers, and try to gather enough dino-DNA to generate a cure for heart disease.

The Jurassic Park franchise is struggling to keep things fresh and engaging. Clearly, the filmmakers knew this fact during the production of Jurassic World Rebirth. This sequel falls short of expectations with its familiar story elements, some thin characters, and a clunky script. Nevertheless, Jurassic World Rebirth still provides some entertainment, featuring some terrific new players, exhilarating action scenes, terrifying suspense, and outstanding visuals. This movie is far from the best in the Jurassic Park saga, but it's a decent blockbuster nonetheless.
