Anthony Hopkins Voices the New Transformers Trailer

Production for the most recent installment in the Transformers franchise began in June this year. It’s been leaked and confirmed that the movie about a knight will include a voice over from a known actor who also happens to be a real knight! Transformers: The Last Knight is movie number 5 in the franchise and rumor has it that a Bumblebee spin-off movie is in the plan, to be followed by Transformers 6.

It is not clear who Sir Anthony Hopkins will be playing in this fifth Transformers film, although there is talk of an evil Optimus Prime out to destroy Bumblebee and the involvement of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Speculation includes that he might be the voice of Goldbug, an evil, alternate-reality version of Bumblebee. Or, and it isn’t official yet, the movie trailer has scenes that reveal the presence of a massive Transformer from the 1986 film Transformers: The Movie who liked to eat planets: Unicron. Which character would Anthony Hopkins’ voice be?

The movie trailer voice over was done by Anthony Hopkins, and the war between the Autobots and Decepticons continues while Cade Yeager, played by Mark Wahlberg, is on the run from the Transformers Reaction Force. It hasn’t been made clear either how King Arthur and his knights are involved, unless it is only to illustrate how long the Transformers have been a part of history, so we wait and see what Michael Bay has in store for us.

Voice over narration and voice over for movies playing animated and make-believe characters such as the Transformers prove to be a challenge to a voice actor’s vocal range. As many experienced actors know, this requires hours of training and practice so you essentially sound the same throughout the movie, varying only with the moods and the scenes.
