Transformers 4 Casts Stanley Tucci

In the late hours of last night, news came out of CinemaCon in Las Vegas that director Michael Bay had announced the addition of Stanley Tucci to the cast of Transformers 4. The veteran actor, who has starred in The Hunger Games and Captain America: The First Avenger, will play an undisclosed role opposite Mark Wahlberg, Jack Reynor and Nicola Peltz. Don't be surprised if he's the "respectable, middle-aged actor" called in to fill the shoes of guys like John Turturro. The film, which Bay has described as a "chase scene from hell," will be his last as a Transformers director, although reports are that he will be setting up elements for the new director to take on a trilogy.
