“It’s an intelligent, adult action film,” Mark expressed (via Variety), adding that he and Peter want to make the first film as the start of a trilogy. “I still don’t feel like I have the movie, the role, that defines me.”

That same day, Mark joined his co-stars Anthony Hopkins, Laura Haddock, Isabela Moner, Jerrod Carmichael and director Michael Bay at their panel for Transformers: The Last Knight.
