Megatron's recast in Transformers 4 explained.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One actor consistently voiced Megatron in the first three Transformers movies but was replaced in Transformers 4 and 5 — here is why. When it comes to casting the voice actors behind its central robotic species, the live-action Transformers movies have been fairly experimental.

For instance, the filmmakers behind Michael Bay's Transformers movies had to recast Megatron in the live-action series' fourth installment.

Hugo Weaving Left Transformers After "Meaningless" Megatron Role After voicing Megatron in Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Hugo Weaving decided to leave the franchise. He later slammed his voice role as Megatron by claiming that it was "meaningless" and that he had never even read the script for the movies or met Michael Bay during his tenure with the franchise.

Frank Welker Replaced Hugo Weaving As Megatron For Transformers 4 & 5 After Hugo Weaving departed from the Transformers live-action franchise, Frank Weller replaced him and voiced Megatron in Transformers: Age of Extinction and Transformers: The Last Knight.
