If you aren\u2019t aware of what Michael Bay specializes in, let me tell you that you can expect huge explosions and fantastic special effects. The \u201cTransformers\u201d films are especially known for their top of the line and innovative effects.<\/p>\n<p>What you may not be expecting to hear about is the featuring of Winston Churchill\u2019s old estate as Hitler\u2019s Headquarters. Many people, especially veterans, are critical of Churchill\u2019s estate being covered in swastika banners due to him being a World War II hero. In response, Michael Bay told BBC, \u201cWhen you see the movie you\u2019ll understand.\u201d To back up his statement, he mentioned how the movie would depict Winston Churchill as a big hero and that Churchill would not be \u201cturning in his grave\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Another main hero that will be featured in the film is King Arthur, played by Liam Garrigan, who has played King Arthur before in ABC\u2019s \u201cOnce Upon A Time\u201d. King Arthur\u2019s role in the movie is currently unknown, but King Arthur was featured in the \u201cTransformers\u201d animated series, where he teamed up with Autobots back in the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Wahlberg is returning to star in \u201cThe Last Knight\u201d, alongside Peter Cullen returning as the voice of Optimus Prime and newcomer Isabela Moner. The film will also feature new Autobots and new Decepticons, as well as the official debut of the miniature Dinobots. The larger Dinobots made their debut in 2014\u2019s \u201cAge of Extinction\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>With confirmation that the film will feature King Arthur, Nazis and dinosaurs, who wouldn\u2019t want to wonder what Michael Bay has in store for us with the plot of the movie. \u201cTransformers: The Last Knight\u201d is coming to theaters on July 23, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Contact the author at bbiacan16@wou.edu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Blayde Biacan Freelancer Michael Bay is directing another, I repeat, another \u201cTransformers\u201d movie. \u201cTransformers: The Last Knight\u201d is the fifth installment in Michael Bay\u2019s iconic franchise.
