So I'm not sure how well any of you are keeping up with the 5th Transformers movie, but I've been on a kick lately, especially with the comics.
I'm not posting any links or images because there are too many and I cba at the moment.
I don't really consider any of this spoileriffic because it's been posted on social media for the whole word to see. If the mods wanna tag it, please feel free. Most of it is speculation.
-The title of the 5th movie is 'Transformers: The Last Knight'. They say the title may allude to a future crossover franchise of some kind, but Idk.
-Marky Mark is obviously back, and I'm not exactly thrilled... but considering I didn't like the teenage daughter even more and she hasn't been recast yet, I'll take Marky Mark back any day.
-The story may connect with the legend of King Arthur; an actor named Liam Garrigan has been cast in the role.
-There is also a sideplot to do with Hitler and the Nazis? I have no idea what that could be... I just know that the production came under fire while filming in Europe because they used Winston Churchill's old mansion as a set for some type of Nazi headquarters... which I can understand why it would piss people off.
-Jush Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson are back reprising their roles as Colonel Lennox and Robert Epps, respectively (which I'm actually excited for, because they are some of the few human characters that I really like).
-Also, Anthony Hopkins has a role in this.
-The Combaticons may be making an appearance, namely because concept art with Onslaught has already been posted on the movie's official IG account.
-Optimus's purple optics in the teaser poster may hint at some things, according to some fan theories... Either we will be seeing an appearance from his dopplegänger, Nemesis Prime, or my least favorite, Optimus may become corrupted over the course of the film and end up becoming the enemy. Me no likey this. It's Optimus fucking Prime ffs, don't make him into the bad guy. Again, who knows how viable these even are.
-Also, Megatron is back. How shocking.
I... I don't know how well all of these elements are going to mesh together, but if they do it the right damn way, could be a kickass ride.
Ijs, if it could possibly redeem the franchise (for me, personally) of that god awful 4th movie, I'll consider it a success (again, for me personally).
