Immediately after the release of the fourth part of the Transformers film, it was announced that the filming of the next chapter of one of the highest grossing films of the last decade was announced. Since 2007, this blockbuster is the most anticipated moviegoers around the world. What to expect in the new part of Transformers 5? Will the cast change again? What will the film tell the audience?
Plot
After people had to conquer the Earth shoulder to shoulder with alien robots, Optimus Prime leaves the planet, leaving the Autobots to protect humanity. However, as soon as he flies away, a new threat falls on earthlings - Galvatron wants to build a space bridge that will destroy all life. Bumblebee and the rest of the allies of mankind are trying to confront a formidable enemy and defend their favorite planet.
Together with the Autobots, the Cade Yeager, Colonel William Lennox and other heroes who are not the first to engage in battle with an alien enemy are fighting against the Decepticons.
It is worth saying a few words about the cast of Transformers 5, since in recent years it has undergone changes.
Mark Wahlberg
The famous American actor, producer and part-time novice rapper (recently he began to perform on stage) replaced the previous Transformers star Shia Labab on the set. Mark Wahlberg appears as a non-merry inventor in the fourth part of the film. Cade Yeager finds an old truck in a landfill, which he hopes to fix and sell, but later it turns out that this is not scrap metal at all, but Autobot leader Optimus Prime. So begins the acquaintance of the two main characters of the film.
Mark Wahlberg, who led the cast of Transformers 5: The Last Knight, was the best fit for this role. The 46-year-old actor is famous for his eccentric character. At the age of 14, he was expelled from school, after which the young man was engaged in theft and sale of drugs. When Mark was 16, he was imprisoned for 1.5 months for beating a Vietnamese.
Josh Duhamel
Starting from the first part of the film, this actor plays the role of Colonel Lennox, heroically fighting huge robots. Luckily for Josh fans, he was also included in the cast of Transformers 5.
It is noteworthy that in 1997 Duhamel won the competition of male models. After that, he starred in soap operas and music videos for some time. A little later, he played the role of casino security chief in the Las Vegas show. In one of the episodes, the hero of Josh was returning from Iraq. On these shots he was noticed by Stephen Spielberg, who immediately offered the little-known actor a role in the Transformers blockbuster.
Isabela Moner
The young Broadway actress joined the cast of Transformers 5 and did not lose. A role in the box office blockbuster will definitely give the girl a successful start. In the film, she plays an active kid who grew up in a foster family. Isabela's only friend was a little transformer until she met Yeager. After that, the girl’s life changes dramatically, and she gets drawn into a fight between transformers and people.
Anthony Hopkins
There are actors whose name in the subtitles of the film is already becoming the key to success. Anthony Hopkins is one such talent. He joined the cast of Transformers 5 in the role of Sir Edmund Burton, who is subordinate to an unusual Cogman robot. This alien robot has one feature - it is growing from a person, but if he transfers his head to a car, then it grows in size and becomes a huge death machine.
In addition to the main actors of the movie "Transformers 5" in the filming took part:
- Stanley Tucci, who played the role of Joshua Joyce;
- Tyrese Gibson, known for the first parts of Transformers and the cult film The Fast and the Furious. Tyrese plays Robert Epps, a colleague and close friend of Colonel Lennox.
- John Turturro appeared as the character of Seymour Simmons, who was so fond of franchise fans.
- Laura Haddock is an Oxford scholar Vivian Wembley.
Interesting facts about the film
In addition to eminent actors in the film "Transformers: The Last Knight" was attended by a real dog named Freya. All his life the unfortunate animal was forced to spend in shelters. Since the dog suffers from epilepsy, no one wanted to take her home and take on such responsibility. When the story of the lonely pet in the world spread on the web, the film's director Michael Bay could not pass by. He decided to use Freya in the fifth part of Transformers. According to the director of the film, he has not yet met animals with such excellent acting data. In addition, Bay promised that at the end of the filming he would personally find a loving family for the now famous dog or leave Freya at home.
