Ahead of its production start date, Paramount Pictures has announced that Academy Award-winner Sir Anthony Hopkins (Thor: Ragnarok) has signed on for a key role in Transformers: The Last Knight. Further details on his role were unavailable, but it's presumed he'll be portraying a human character and not voicing one of the larger-than-life robots.

Hopkins joins a cast that already features Mark Wahlberg (Patriots Day), Josh Duhamel (11.22.63), Isabela Moner (100 Things To Do Before High School), and Jerrod Carmichael (Neighbors 2: Soroity Rising). Michael Bay (13 Hours: The Secret Service Of Benghazi) is once again in the director's chair. Art Marcum (Iron Man), Matt Holloway (Iron Man), and Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down) penned the script.

@repulse93 - That's just what I thought.

They got Orson Welles, the first time.

And even though Welles was (by his own admission) just selling out, they still need to respect his legacy by casting somebody of a similar stature.

Hopkins would be a pretty good fit.

But, for my money, if they should cast anyone for Unicron, it should be Mark Hammil.

If you can't get Citizen Kane, then get Luke Skywalker.
