Voice of Megatron Speaks


According to Seibertron, "A journalist for the Australian paper- The Advertiser, Sean Fewster tips us on a returning voice actor for the next movie that completely refutes one Michael Bay's original statements about the movie sequel.

One of Sean's co-workers at the paper, film writer Andrew Fenton interviewed actor Hugo Weaving."

Weaving (famous for playing Agent Smith in "The Matrix") played the voice of Megatron in the summer blockbuster "Transformers."

Micheal Bay has been saying that Megatron is dead, killed when Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) jammed the All Spark cube into Megatron's chest.

But the actor says he has done new voice work for the supposedly 'dead' robot.

"Despite this certain death, rumors have been circulating the villain was going to make a comeback. Director Michael Bay went so far as to flatly deny the rumor, telling Empire: 'He's not in the movie.'

Turns out Bay was fibbing. 'I've already done it,' Weaving says, adding Bay had told him to keep the news hush-hush. 'He's over in LA and we were working on the video split sort of thing and I had this strange conversation where he seemed to imply it was all a big secret. So there you go - I've given you the secret scoop.'

So how is Megatron resurrected? Weaving is coy about revealing too much, but does give a tiny hint.

'I think in the last one, doesn't Optimus Prime pick up a little bit of, a shard of the cube, or the thing that's left, and he takes it with him. Maybe there's something there... but I don't know,' he laughs."

So there will be lots more explosions and destructive robots in this next "Transformers" movie, but how will the return of Megatron play into things?
And will the leader of the Decepticons have more lines in this next film (he had like...what, five in the first one?).
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
