Paramount Pictures unveiled a new look atTransformers: The Last Knightduring the Super Bowl with an explosion-filled TV spot.Michael Bayreturns to direct this fifth entry in theTransformersfranchise, which findsMark Wahlbergreprising his role from the semi-rebootAge of Extinction. This new film introduces some serious mythology involving King Arthur, as Optimus Prime and his cohorts are in a very precarious position.
A longer look at this trailer is set to air during the Super Bowl, but for now, this isn’t a bad trailer as much as it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect fromTransformersmovies: an unexpectedly somber tone for a story that involves giant robots that can turn into vehicles. It also looks like they’re setting up a big fight between Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, so that could be fun, I guess.
Bay also wrote a letter to fanssaying that this is his lastTransformersmovie, and he’s super serious this time. He knows he’s said it before, but this time he wants to go out and go out on top. Fingers crossed he’s finally made aTransformerssequel that’s as good as the first movie.

Here’s the official synopsis forTransformers: The Last Knight:
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.
