This time he's accompanied by his god-daughter, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, as he races around the globe, desperate to find an ancient mathematical device before it falls into the hands of the villainous Mads Mikkelsen. Harrison Ford may be two decades older than Sean Connery was when the latter played Indy's doddering dad in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, but the 80-year-old Ford has plopped on his brown fedora for a fifth and final archaeological escapade. What's really interesting is how much more I got when I went back and did him. "And so I thought, 'Well, now that they're asking me, let me see if I can pull that off'. "Frankly, in the back of my head, I always thought, 'I bet I could go back and nail that '," Keaton told Rebecca Keegan at the Hollywood Reporter.

"We've watched it with audiences and we've heard them talk about it – they're like, 'It's definitely Optimus, but there's something a little different…' And by the end of the movie, Optimus has become the guy that you've recognised from the Bay movies." The first five films were all directed by Michael Bay, whereas this one is directed by Steven Caple Jr, who made Creed II. Five years on from the last Transformers film, the alien robots are back to cause more property damage, although this episode in the Hasbro toy franchise is something of a reboot.
