Note: I consider this separate from the TF5 speculation thread because this thread is discussing actors in general, since it's obvious that the series will extend well past TF5.

SO

I'd like to see Kesley Grammar again, voicing a musing villian in his best Frasier voice...HEY. He could by Sky-Byte! And with Quintessons on the way I'd say the Sharkticons need a general, yes?

Also I'd like to see David Kaye lend his voice to a villain as well, I'd say Galvatron's charming second in command, Cyclonus. G1 personality but Armada helicopter.

And also I'd like to see a female Decepticon, Slipstream, perhaps, voiced by the orginal VA for Blackarachnia. (Her name escapes me right now)

How say you?

 

Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Everyone else cool from the Marvel movies

 

How has Liam Neeson not been asked?!

 

Jackie Chan, roughing and tumbling with the Autobots!

(and also if Chan did a MBay film he may nearly get killed but it'd be beyond epic)

 

Jennifer Lawrence.

 

Based on how DotM and AoE casted:

-Gilbert Gottfried as a chronic gambler, and one of the slot machines he was playing on was a Transformer.

-Zoe Saldana as a high ranking military "chick". There hasn't been one yet. She could be the lead as well.

-Hugh Jackman as an aged pretty boy who used to get by on his looks. Changes his outlook on life after some near-death experience in the middle of a Autobot/Decepticon battle.

-Sandra Bullock being the 2nd wife of the main male lead (whoever that will be), and the son(s)/daughter(s) hate her. Obviously they're all good by movie's end.

-Rachel McAdams CEO of her company, was a rival of Zoe Saldana's character when they were younger in high school or something.

-Melissa McCarthy or Kathy Bates as a crazy cat lady who has her house blown up.

-John Cho as military fighter pilot for a country that's not the US.

 

Dwayne Johnson. Wasn't he going to be in Age of Extinction, but couldn't due to that Hercules movie?

 

Assuming that these actors could play either a human or a robot...

Daniel Day-Lewis, just so all the uptight pricks at the Academy lose their minds and kill themselves.

Ryan Gosling, because he was incredible in Drive and I'd love to see him lend his talents to the franchise.

Bryan Cranston, because Heisenberg. And because he seems like an actor who always wants to try new things, and this could be some new territory for him.

Josh Radnor, because I loved his character in How I Met Your Mother (except for the finale, which is a disgrace not only to the show but to television in general), and would like to see what he could do as a human lead.

Shailene Woodley, because she can draw the young adult crowd, AND she's a phenomenal actress (side note: me and my buddy Pookie were talking about movie stars, and I brought up Shailene, and he said "I'd make that pussy Diverge any day". Not related, but I thought it was funny).

Michael Fassbender, but ONLY if he plays Megatron. Seeing his performance in the new X-Men movies as Magneto made me realize that this guy doesn't fuck around - he was intense as SHIT.

NOT Benedict Cumberbatch - Is anyone sick of that guy yet?

Bradley Cooper - Haven't seen American Sniper yet (EDIT: Just got back from it and holy fucking shit #Bradley4Optimus needs to be a thing immediately), don't need to. After Silver Linings Playbook, I'm confident this guy can carry a movie (I'd actually like to see him play Optimus Prime - no joke).

Not sure if anyone saw Inherent Vice, but there's a character in there played by this actress named Sasha Pieterse...Something tells me she wouldn't do so bad in a TF flick.

Anthony B. Jordan -ONLY if he plays Spike Witwicky, so all the racist nerds can bitch and moan again about a black dude being in a comic book movie (side note, are we gonna see a Fantastic Four trailer soon or nah?)

Speaking of Fantastic Four, Kate Mara - do I even need a reason?

Riff Raff. Actually, Riff Raff needs to be in EVERY movie.

 

Benedict Cumberbatch as Shockwave would be great for a reboot.

I'd like to see Idris Elba, Bryan Cranston, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Ron Perlman, Will Ferrell, and Liam Neeson be in the franchise.

 

Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, Andy Serkis, Chris Pratt, Sigourney Weaver, Jensen Ackles, Bryan Cranston, Patrick Stewart and/or Ian Mckellen, Emma Watson

 

Jeff Goldblum, presumably playing a scientist sort (essentially the same guy he was in Jurassic Park, and Independence Day for that matter). He could help out the Autobots, all the while half-finishing his sentences with "uh's" and "ah's".

Also, Nicolas Cage. Just because.

 

Chris Pratt, Emma Stone, Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, Liam Neeson, Emily Blunt, Lyndsy Fonseca and Chris Hemsworth.

 

Elba as Optimus (If Cullen Can't)
Perlman as Main Robot Villain or Cyclonus (G1 pesonality)
Neeson as Kup or Ultra Magnus
Cooper as Springer
Cranston as Alpha Trion or Villain
Ferrell as Sunstreaker
Diesel as Brawn
And Chris Prat as Hot Rod

 

Matt Smith as the TRUE voice of Bumblebee!  

...Yeah, he's gonna be talking through the radio for the rest of the new trilogy...

 

I can't see Cranston as Alpha Trion. I think he'd make a good Ratchet in a reboot movie.

Vin Diesel is more Omega Supreme or Metroplex territory for me.

Ron Perlman is my ideal voice for IDW Overlord (think Slade/Deathstroke).

The rest all work.

 

Playing a later in life Sam Witwicky.

 

Can you guys imagine the rage if Nicolas Cage played an iconic character like Ultra Magnus or Optimus Prime.

Optimus Cage

 

Not as big as if Dan Gilvezan played Movie Megatron/Galvatron using his G1 Bumblebee voice.

 

Transformers

 

It'd be an amusing performance to say the least.

Danny G as Megatron/Galvatron. This is the most nuts thing ever.
