Anthony Hopkins Joins Transformers: The Last Knight

Shooting on Transformers: The Last Knight is kicking off just about now, but it appears there’s still some room in the cast, as the official Transformers Twitter account has tweeted that they’ve added a real Knight, Sir Anthony Hopkins. However, what they haven’t said it what the Welsh Oscar-winner will be doing in them movie.

Indeed, there’s not been much info on the plot at all. However, there has been a logo with a sword on it, and the info that Mark Wahlberg and Josh Duhamel will be back, alongside newcomers Isabela Moner and Jerrod Carmichael.

Although it seems like an unusual choice for Hopkins, who’s normally thought of as being part of more prestigious project, he’s certainly not averse to more commercial fare. Of course he was Thor’s dad Dad in the first two Thor movies, and also popped up in the likes of the 1990s Zorro movies  and 2010’s The Wolfman. He’ll soon be seen in HBO TV series based on Michael Crichton’s Westworld.
