ONCE UPON A TIME's Liam Garrigan Will Play King Arthur In TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT
Recent photos from the set of Transformers: The Last Knight pointed to the movie spending some time in medieval Britain, and now King Arthur himself has been cast in the fifth instalment of the franchise
It was reported some time ago that King Arthur and Merlin are expected to factor into Transformers: The Last Knight, and the former has now been cast in the upcoming fifth instalment of Michael Bay's divisive franchise. However, the director doesn't deserve any points for originality as Mashable reports that Liam Garrigan has actually been cast in the role he's already played in Once Upon a Time!
On the plus side, we at least know that he's qualified to play the iconic British legend. Garrigan's other small screen credits include the likes of 24: Live Another Day and Strike Back while he also had a leading role in The Legends of Hercules. This is an interesting bit of casting as it now confirms that we'll be spending some time in the past in The Last Knight...unless Bay brings Arthur to the present that is!
Set to be released on June 23rd next year, the movie will feature the return of Mark Wahlberg as Cade Yeager as well as new roles for Isabela Moner and Jerrod Carmichael. Production on Transformers: The Last Knight is set to begin on June 6th, and will then move to currently unrevealed locations around the world as a new adventure begins. With Bay back in the director’s chair, the screenplay for the movie was written by Iron Man's Art Marcum and Matt Holloway along with Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down).
