We knew it wouldn't remain just "Transformers 2” for long -- well now Michael Bay's highly-anticipated follow-up has an official subtitle, and it's "Revenge of the Fallen."
As expected, the name alludes to a plot point, with the filmmakers telling fans to "expect a key character from the first movie to make a dramatic comeback and attempt to settle a score." One could assume they're most likely referencing Megatron, the Decepticon leader who was unceremoniously destroyed after the film's climactic city-wrecking battle. In nerd-verse, Megatron is transformed into Galvatron after making a deal for his resurrection with planet-sized robot Unicron.
The release also officially confirmed what MTV News revealed last week, that "Office" star Rainn Wilson has joined the cast. This comes in addition to British actor Matthew Marsen snagging a role, which we reported on Monday.
"Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen" -- which Michael Bay promises will function as a standalone sequel -- is scheduled to hit theaters Summer 2009.
So what do you think? Is the new title good, bad, or wait-and-see? Chime in below!
