'Transformers 5' Official Runtime Revealed
Earlier this June, it was reported that "Transformers: The Last Knight" would be the longest film in the "Transformers" franchise. However, it turned out that the upcoming film was actually one of the shortest. During the past few days, the official runtime of "The Last Knight" was revealed, and it laid to rest the rumors about its length in comparison to its predecessors.
When rumors about "The Last Knight" being the longest "Transformers" movie came out, film director Michael Bay was quick to deny it as he took to Twitter to say that the upcoming film is actually "shorter than the last 3 movies by a lot." Now that the British Board of Film Classification has finally revealed how long the film will run, fans can finally stop making speculations about its being the shortest or longest in the franchise.
"The Last Knight" will have a runtime of two hours and 29 minutes, relatively shorter than the previously rumored three hours and two minutes runtime. Although the film will run for more than two hours, the film is actually the second shortest film in the "Transformers" franchise, next to the original 2007 film that ran for two hours and 24 minutes.
