Transformers: The Last Knight which is slated to hit theatres on 23 June 2017 released its first trailer on Tuesday. The video features Sir Anthony Hopkins telling us how two species – humans and transformers – who have been friends for centuries are now at war.
The explosive trailer features Optimus Prime switching to the wrong side and attacking his trusted friend, Bumblebee. This film which will be the last to be directed by Michael Bay starts with mechanical dragons from the ages gone by and fast forwards to a present where humanity is threatened by their robotic friends.
The first half of the trailer, drifting slightly away from the franchise’s roots, portrays strong imagery of blood dripping from a crucifix, wars and Nazis running riot. Basically, showcasing the bloody history of human savagery. Can’t say that we aren’t hooked.
Watch the trailer here.
