Transformers: The Last Knight has officially started shooting, and while it wasn't the first film to shoot in Cuba, it can at least claim the second.

Director Michael Bay celebrated as much via a post on his Instagram account, saying: "CUBA! Second American Movie shot in Cuba. Transformers. Amazing place! #transformers."

The first movie to film in Cuba was Vin Diesel's Fast & Furious 8 (which is also filming now). The film is a reunion of sorts, as Michael Bay is joined by Transformers: Age of Extinction star Mark Wahlberg, along with Transformers 1 - 3's Josh Duhamel. If things go Tyrese's way, he could also be involved in The Last Knight. That doesn't mean it's all returning characters, though, as newcomers Isabela Moner and Jerrod Carmichael.

As to what The Last Knight moniker stands for, that is anyone's guess, though there are a few theories. One of those includes a bit from the first teaser, where an Autobot that looks like Optimus Prime is seen quickly with glowing purple eyes. The theory is that it could be Nemesis Prime, a clone that looks just like the valiant Autobot, but lacks the morality that makes him the fan favorite he is today.

Other out there theories include references to Hasbro's announced cinematic universe, thus allowing some interesting crossovers to happen in the film, including ROM The Space Knight.

It will be awhile before we find out any concrete information, as the film doesn't release until
