He will play "Graham", a member of the British Special Forces who teams with the returning Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel as the military side of the film as the battle between the Transformers takes on a more global scale. Apparently the role of Graham began life very small but once director Michael Bay got to meet Marsden in person, he added much more beef to the role which should now play a significant part in the film. Serious filming is expected to begin in a matter of weeks as Bay currently formulates all his vehicles for the shoot. The movie will be out next June. source - mtv
