Dominique Fishback stuns in an orange dress at CBS Mornings to talk Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts

Dominique Fishback put on a breathtaking show when she arrived CBS mornings in NYC on Monday to promote her upcoming film, Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts.

The BAFTA-nominated actress, 32, who recently starred alongside singers Billie Eilish and Chloe Bailey in Amazon’s thriller titled Swarm, smiled broadly as she entered CBS Studios in the Big Apple.

The beauty turned heads in a sleeveless orange dress with a fitted bodice and a wide skirt that stopped just above her ankles.

For a bit of contrast to the look, the Judas And The Black Messiah star slipped into a pair of closed-toed, white heels.

Her dark brown locks were parted in the middle and fell effortlessly past her shoulders in elegant curls.

The actress opted to keep her accessories minimalist for the outing to let the dress be the main focal point, adding a dainty pair of rhinestone earrings.

Dominique sat down for an interview on CBS Mornings to talk about her upcoming action movie, Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts, which premieres in theaters on June 9 next month.

In addition to Fishback, other stars cast in the franchise include Anthony Ramos, as well as Peter Cullen who voiced Optimus Prime and SNL alum Pete Davidson, who lent his voice for the autobot named Mirage.

In the film, which is a sequel to Bumblebee (2018), the star plays the role of a trainee archaeologist and discussed being a part of the Transformers universe.

“I feel like I’ve always wanted to be an actress, and I’d watch TV and say, ‘I want to do something like that.’ So I saw Transformers… but I never thought they’d have me, that I’d be the girl chosen.”

She continued, “They didn’t have a lot of lead actresses who look like me, who were from where I came from, so it didn’t really seem like an opportunity.”

“I mean, a lot of things seemed achievable, but I think, especially Transformers, it was like, ‘It’s going to be something like that.’ And that’s just…” she said, her voice trailing off as she thought about getting a part in the franchise itself.

Dominique also revealed that she had no plans to initially audition for a role in the action movie. “I was like, unless the opportunity was really high, because I give a lot — it doesn’t matter if it’s an audition or I get the part, I’m going to give myself to it.”

Fishback also shared how she wrote “pages and pages of notes” on her character to better prepare for the film.

“I do that a lot for all of my characters. I usually journal as the characters. And I also said to Steven, “You know, if you like the work I’ve done, know that I’m from the theater,” she said, referring to director Steven Caple Jr.

So talking about character and development, and the arc of a story is very important. And it doesn’t change, whatever the genre or medium.’

During the interview, Dominique also talked about her latest Amazon Prime Video series titled Swarm, created by Donald Glover.

She played the role of Andrea ‘Dre’ in the psychological thriller, who becomes obsessed with a popular music artist. Other stars cast in the show included Billie Eilish, Chloe Bailey and also Damson Idris.

“They told me Donald had a part for me, and when I got into the meeting, they told me all about the character, about Dre, and then said they wanted me to play Marissa,” which eventually went to Chloe Bailey.

“And so I left like, man, I gotta play Dre. So I told my team. They said you might have to fight for it. And I said, “I mean, we’ve been fighting all our lives, so this is no different.”

The actress explained that after speaking to Donald in person, she explained that she wanted to “stay on my toes.” I don’t even want to know what I’m going to do now. When I was younger and wanted to act, it wasn’t based on a genre. I wanted to do everything that felt good to me and could show versatility.’

Dominique, who was one of the recipients of the Rising Stars of the Year Award at CinemaCon last April, also teased her upcoming project with Jamie Foxx.

While studying at Pace University, the actress created a one-woman show tackling 22 characters, and Foxx is now adapting and producing the thesis.

“It’s a one-woman show that I wrote as my graduation thesis. And then Jamie Foxx saw it and said he wanted it everywhere. So now he’s EP’ing [executive producing] It. We’re going to do it as a special.’

The Django Unchained star has notably spent time in a physical rehabilitation center in Chicago after suffering a mysterious medical emergency last April while filming his upcoming movie, Back In Action, in Atlanta.
