Bumblebee's image posted by Bay is the third massive announcement of a robot character in "The Last Knight," Fox News reported. Optimus Prime and Megatron have both been confirmed to be back for the fifth chapter of Transformers. Josh Duhamel and Mark Wahlberg are confirmed to return as the film's human cast but reprising their roles as Lieutenant Colonel Lennox and Cade Yeager, respectively.
Newcomer Character Tease
One very important newcomer to the franchise was revealed over the weekend. The film execs announced that Sir Anthony Hopkins is joining the film in an indefinite role that is highly expected to be a human character and not a robot's voice. On the other hand, new additions to the cast include Isabela Moner from films "100 Things to Do Before High School" and "Growing Up Fisher" and Jerrod Carmichael of "The Carmichael Show" and "Neighbors," DT added.
After "Transformers: The Last Knight," Bumblebee is expected to headline its self starring movie in 2018. This suggests that another tune-up is not too way off for the popular character.
