I've never seen a Transformers movie but I think that is about to change.

Garrigan Is King Arthur In Fifth “Transformers

Liam Garrigan, who plays King Arthur on ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” TV series, has been cast as the same character in Michael Bay’s “Transformers: The Last Knight” at Paramount Pictures. He joins Santiago Cabrera who stars as Arthur’s wizard Merlin.

Bay returns to direct the sequel which ties into Arthurian legend, though the specifics of King Arthur and Merlin’s roles in the story are unknown. Rumors paint Merlin as obtaining his powers from a piece of Cybertron technology and this casting would seem to add more credence to the talk of extensive flashbacks set centuries in the past.

Mark Wahlberg returns alongside Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Isabela Moner, Laura Haddock, Jerrod Carmichael, Gil Birmingham and Anthony Hopkins in the film which opens June 23rd 2017.

But...he was/is a terrible Arthur. Though maybe that's the writers fault more than his, considering the show.

They are marketing a twist that "will have people still talking about it on Monday".
There was a twist, but I'll probably be done talking about it on Monday. Super tense movie. There were some common horror tropes, and I was making jokes for a while, but eventually I was just sitting there with my muscles clenched.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Looks like a Tombs of the Blind Dead ripoff, except instead of ancient templar zombies, it's just...a guy.
