'Transformers: The Last Knight' cast: Mark Walhberg joins the cast as Autobots' new ally

Transformers: The Last Knight is the latest movie in the Transformers franchise. The film continues the Transformers' storyline after the 2014 film, Transformers: Age of Extinction. The Last Knight is directed by Michael Bay who also helmed the previous instalments. While some of the old characters including the robots, Optimus Prime, Bubblebee, Hound, Drift, Crosshairs, Wheelie, Megatron, and Barricade reprise their roles in the movie, a host of new characters also adds to the list.

The plot of Transformers: The Last Knight is based on the Arthurian legends where the transformers' predecessor had helped the legendary king win the battle with an alien staff but warned the Merlin that evil forces will return for the power. In the present day, Optimus Prime returns to Cybertron to meet his creator, Quintessa who brainwashes him and renames him Nemesis Prime. She then orders him to return to Earth and retrieve Merlin's staff. The latter can actually absorb Earth's energy and save Cybertron. Cade, Bumblebee and the other Autobots are now on the journey to find the staff before Prime while also trying to escape the anti-Transformers force.
