Duhamel will be reprising his role as Lieutenant Colonel Lennox, who appeared in the first three movies but didn’t show up in the most recent flick, Transformers: Age of Extinction.
In all the excitement, Josh took to Twitter to share his announcement (below):

Well director Michael Bay of course had to have a bit of fun with his actor, writing:
@joshduhamel Do you remember your way around set or need some pointers?#transformers pic.twitter.com/QlL7cv7Qqc

The 43-year-old actor knew just how to respond though:
.@michaelbay Great to be back. I think I remember… the big trailer’s mine, right? https://t.co/SHmBzdyxYZ

And seeing as how Mark Wahlberg became the new face of the franchise in the last Transformers movie — and is returning for this one as well — he decided to send a shout out to Josh:
.@joshduhamel welcome back to the #transformers family. This is gonna be good.

But it’s not all work on the set as Fergie‘s husband pointed out:
Thanks. Looking forward to it. Don’t forget to bring your golf clubs. #transformers https://t.co/7meh4WvFpU

LOLz!
As for the future of the franchise, The Last Knight is the first installment in a new series of Transformers movies that are being written by The Walking Dead‘s Robert Kirkman and Daredevil‘s Steven DeKnight!
The film isn’t set to hit theaters until June 23, 2017, but we’re definitely on board with bringing Duhamel back — as we’re sure he’s happy to be doing a major motion picture again!
Are you excited about The Last Knight or are you over the Transformers franchise?
