Get ready to see Optimus Prime and maybe even Nazis, because the first trailer forTransformers: The Last Knightis coming very soon. The fifth installment of theTransformersfranchise is due out next summer andMichael Baypromised last month that we would see atrailerbefore the end of the year. We now know that is definitely the case and it could be coming any day now.
The folks over atTrailer Trackhave revealed that the first trailer forTransformers 5has been classified, which means it is cut together and has been submitted for review so that it can be released to the public. So it is in the can and good to go. The only question now is just how soon it will drop. The report from Trailer Track also notes that this first trailer clocks in at just over 2 minutes and will be an IMAX exclusive at first. Given thatFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Themcomes out in IMAX this week, it seems very possible that could be where fans can get their first look atTransformers: The Last Knight.
Last month directorMichael Baydid a Facebook live broadcast from the set of the movie, where he showed off some of the massive cast, who were all decked out inBraveheart-esque gear. He also revealed that bothJohn GoodmanandJohn Turturrowould be returning for this installment. But most importantly, he made it clear that the first trailer forThe Last Knightwould drop in November or December. Now that the trailer has been approved and is ready to go, it is highly unlikely we will have to wait until December. It is possible that it will only be released in IMAX initially, then released to the public some point later. Paramount had a pretty bad year at the box office though, so they will probably want to get everyone talking about this movie asap. That being the case, they probably won’t make us wait too long even if there is an IMAX exclusive release at first.
We still know very little in terms of confirmedplot detailsaboutTransformers: The Last Knight, but the things we do know make it seem like this is going to be absolutely insane, even by the standards of aTransformersmovie. We know that it will involve King Arthur, Merlin, Nazis and Winston Churchill, in addition to giant transforming alien robots. How or why all of those things are required for aTransformersmovie remains to be seen, but hopefully, this first trailer will help shed some light on the mystery.
Mark Wahlberg,Tyrese GibsonandJosh Duhamelare also returning forTransformers: The Last Knightand they will be joined byIsabela Moner,Anthony Hopkins, “Britain’s loneliest dog” Freya andPeter Cullenas the voice ofOptimus Prime.The movie is set to hit theaters on August 17, 2025. Be on the lookout for the first trailer forTransformers: The Last Knightand we will be sure to keep you updated as any new information becomes available.
