It appears that the marketing for thenewTransformersmovieis up and running, even though the film’s release is still over a year away. Last week, Paramount Pictures unveiledthe official title forTransformers 5, dubbedTransformers: The Last Knight, and that news was quickly followed by word thatJosh Duhamelwould be returning to the seriesafter sitting the last installment,Age of Extinction, out. Now, just days after directorMichael Baygot production underway in Cuba, a cryptic viral teaser has landed online that reveals…something.
The tweet carries the text “Something wicked this way comes” while a message plays out in Morse code on the video, atop some redacted documents from the U.S. State Department. According toScreenRant, the Morse translates to, “E I’m coming for you May 31,” so expect somethingTransformersrelated to drop next Tuesday.
It’s far too early for a trailer with actual footage given that filming hasn’t been underway for very long, but I suppose if Paramount really wanted to get a jump on things they could’ve cobbled together a teaser of some sort. Plot details forThe Last Knightare unknown butMark Wahlbergreprises his role of inventor Cade Yaegar (“Mark Wahlberg as inventor Cade Yaegar” is now a major film franchise character, in case you forgot) in this sequel, which marks Bay’s fifth time behind the camera on aTransformersmovie.
Bay promises that this is his last time behind the camera on the franchise, but Paramount is deep in development onan interconnected universe ofTransformersmovies, including aBumblebee spinoff, so if you thought we were near the end of the series’ lifespan, you were sorely mistaken.
Check out the viral teaser below, and sound off if you spot anything else that may provide a clue as to what we’re in store for.Transformers: The Last Knightopens in theaters on August 12, 2025.
