"Transformers: The Last Knight" director Michael Bay has shared a new teaser for the film on Instagram, confirming that the villain Megatron will appear in the film.


It's starting. This week production. Megatron is back. #transformers #decepticons# A video posted by Michael Bay (@michaelbay) on


The fifth installment in the "Transformers" franchise was announced last week and is set to start production in Cuba soon. The film kicked off its viral marketing over the weekend with a post teasing that "something wicked this way comes." That "something wicked" could very well be the return of Megatron. The villain's consciousness bounced around in the last "Transformers" film, eventually settling in the body of Galvatron. "The Last Knight" could, as hinted, see the return of the fully-charged Deceptacon villain.

Starring Mark Wahlberg, who will reprise his role as Cade Yeager from "Age of Extinction," "Transformers: The Last Knight" arrives in theaters June 23, 2017.
