Official First Look At Optimus Prime From Next ‘Transformers’
In the film, Wahlberg assumes the lead role as a new character. He plays a mechanic who, with his daughter (Peltz), discovers a secret that ensnares the two of them in a conflict between the Autobots, the Decepticons, and a paranoid government official. The cast also includes Stanley Tucci and Kelsey Grammer. Fan-favorite, Peter Cullen, is back to once again voice Optimus- as he has since the 80’s cartoons.
The announcement of a fourth film surprised many after Bay had claimed that the third film was the conclusion of his branch of the franchise. But, as usual, money talks. Despite terrible reviews, and a ho-hum response from fans, 2009’s Revenge of The Fallen banked over $836 million worldwide.
Transformers: Age of Extinction rolls into theaters on June 27, 2014.
