Transformers: The Last Knight is a 2017 American science fiction action film based on Hasbro's Transformers toy line. The film is the fifth installment in the Transformers film series and the sequel to Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014). The film is directed by Michael Bay from a screenplay by Art Marcum, Matt Holloway, and Ken Nolan. It stars Mark Wahlberg reprising his role from Age of Extinction, while Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, and Glenn Morshower reprise their roles from the first three films, as well as Laura Haddock, Isabela Moner, Jerrod Carmichael, Santiago Cabrera, and Anthony Hopkins all joining the cast.

Transformers: The Last Knight premiered on June 18, 2017 at the Odeon Leicester Square in London and was released in the United States on June 21. The film received negative reviews, but the visual effects, sound design, action sequences, musical score, performances (particularly Wahlberg, Hopkins, and Merced), and voice acting (particularly Peter Cullen, John Goodman, and Jim Carter) were praised. It was a box-office bomb, grossing $605 million worldwide against a production budget between $217–260 million, with an estimated loss of over $100 million for both Paramount and Hasbro after marketing and distribution costs. A spin-off/prequel titled Bumblebee, was released on December 21, 2018 to critical and financial success, with Bay as a producer.
