Transformers 5 gets a teaser & a new name: The Last Knight

There was no way that Michael Bay would give a Transformers sequel just a numerical title. Why settle for Transformers 5 when you can have the newly-announced.... *drum roll*.... Transformers: The Last Knight! It certainly errs on the mysterious side of things. Is it a medie♓val reference? Or perhaps a spelling error? Most importantly, will it involve Batman? In all likelihood, none of the above. To coincide with the tit♉le announcement came a sneaky little teaser which makes a big ol' hint about who that last knight is. Check it out below:

Optimus Prime! He's the last knight! Maybe. He did acquire some period armor and a sword in the last film, Age of Extin꧙ction, before jetting off to space. Everyone knows thatꦑ you can tell a knight by their armor, so, perhaps those new medieval duds inspired the name. Alas, the teaser itself doesn't drop any other tidbits. 

There's no footage from the fifth installment in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the Transformers movie-verse as the movie doesn't start shooting until next month. The only thing we know so far - apart from its title - is that Bay 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:will direct the sequel as his last ever Transformers film. After that, the franchise will continue forward with more follow-ups and spin-offs as part of a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:newly-spawned expanded universe that includes a dedicated Bumblebee film. 

Directed by Michael Bay and starring Mark Wahlberg and Jerrod Carmichael, Transformers: The Last Knight is sche⛄duled to open in the US and UK on June 23, 2017.
