Well, I didn't see THAT coming! Not to be outdone by the news that Megatron would be returning for TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT, today we have confirmation that Sir Anthony Hopkins will be joining the cast! There's no word on what role he'll play, if he'll be voicing a Transformer, or if he'll go head to head with Megatron himself, but the following was posted on the official Twitter account of the film.

The man, the myth, the legend – help us welcome Sir Anthony Hopkins to the #transformers universe.

I can't even pretend to know what I'm talking about when it comes to Transformers, although I remember enjoying the first film, and playing the last film on Netflix while I was cleaning . . . the latter of which took up more of my interest than the movie. However, Michael Bay knows how to work in an explosion or two, so there's always hope that one of these movies turns out to be fun, isn't there? ISN'T THERE?!?

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT will open on June 23, 2017.
