Now, another name has been added to the cast list for <em><strong>Transformers: The Last Knight<\/strong><\/em>: step forward Anthony Hopkins, with the news being confirmed in the below tweet:<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The man, the myth, the legend \u2013 help us welcome Sir Anthony Hopkins to the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/transformers?src=hash\">#transformers<\/a> universe. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PfkTuWZHD9\">pic.twitter.com\/PfkTuWZHD9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; #TRANSFORMERS (@transformers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/transformers\/status\/738777165345345536\">June 3, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Additionally, a separate tweet hinted at exactly who (or more accurately, what) he&#8217;ll be playing:<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cybertron\u2019s newest knight already has an armor of gold\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/transformers?src=hash\">#transformers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; #TRANSFORMERS (@transformers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/transformers\/status\/738490413317640193\">June 2, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>For those of you who are uninitiated in <em><strong>Transformers<\/strong><\/em> mythos, this is likely referring to Goldbug, who is generally depicted in the various media as a younger incarnation of movies mainstay Bumblebee.
