Just yesterday we reported that it appeared Michael Bay had been listening to voices on the internet and was considering Mark Wahlberg for Transformers 4. Now it’s been confirmed that Wahlberg is indeed going to star in the movie, and we also get our first look at the logo for the movie.
In a press release on Michael Bay’s website, it’s revealed that, ‘After an exceptionally successful collaboration on the upcoming Pain and Gain, Michael Bay has cast Academy Award®-nominee Mark Wahlberg in the highly anticipated TRANSFORMERS 4. The film will hit theaters June 27th, 2014.’
“Mark is awesome. We had a blast working on Pain and Gain and Im so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers legacy, said Bay.
There’s no news on the plot or the character Wahlberg will play, but shooting will star in the spring and we do know that this will be a continuation rather than a reboot, although it will have a completely new human cast.
