John Goodman and Ken Watanabe to Voice Autobots in 'Transformers: Age of Extinction'



There has been a great deal of turnaround in the human cast of Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction. Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, and Jack Reynor make up what is a completely new acting cast, and now there will be some new voices with Ken Watanabe and John Goodman coming aboard.

Watanabe and Goodman have been brought on to voice the Autobots known as Hound and Drift, respectively. Getting such big names for these particular characters suggests they'll have a bigger part in the story than some of the other Autobots, the exception being Optimus Prime who will once again be voiced by Peter Cullen. The rest of the Transformers are portrayed by Frank Welker as Galvatron, John DiMaggio as Crosshairs, Mark Ryan as Lockdown, Robert Foxworth as Ratchet and Reno Wilson as Brains. What about Grimlock, though?

Transformers: Age of Extinction opens June 27th.
