Michael Bay Shoots Down Megan Fox TRANSFORMERS 4 Rumors

Michael Bay and Megan Fox may have reconciled their differences but that doesn't mean Fox will be returning in the next installment in the Transformers franchise. Bay gave an emphatic 'No' when questioned about Fox's possible return.

It didn't take long for this rumor to be debunked. Fox, currently busy filming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as April O'Neil, recently found her name rumored for a cameo appearance as Mikaela in Transformers 4 starring Mark Wahlberg and actress Nicola Peltz. Both films are being produced by Bay with Jonathan Liebesman handling directing duties on Ninja Turtles while Bay steers the Transformers ship himself. It should really come as no surprise that this particular rumors turned out to be untrue as it began due to an instagram hashstag snafu of all things. Still, Bay had to set the record straight when asked, stating, "No. Because it's a totally different story. It's with Mark Wahlberg and his daughter. It's the same [world]. You have the three movies, but there's a reason why there's a new cast. And it's explained very clearly when you see it, and it's going to feel natural. So it's not like we're starting over or anything like that." The fourth installment picks up four years after the events of Dark of the Moon. Actor Shia LaBeouf and Fox replacement Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are unlikely to return as well, but there have been more substantial rumblings about a cameo appearance from Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson.

More recently, Bay reiterated the above sentiments on Twitter.

“@eduardoalfaia: @s4te MEGAN FOX WILL BE IN TRANSFORMERS 4? PLEASE SAY YES! :)” No.

If I remember correctly, Bay lies a lot about his movies before they're released.

It facinates me watching people trash a woman they don't know and try to make themselve seem better than her. In reality these people would never get someone as hot as her. This is not a way to defend Megan Fox, I just thought it was worth mentioning because I see this happen to many of the actresses in these stories. Kind of sad really.

True.

Bay just lies in general.

Not uncommon however from people trying to sell something to the masses to get as much money as possible.

"This Wolverine though...this is the one! Trust me this time! It's closer to the comic books. It's gritter."

Where have I heard that sort of thing before?

Oh right.

A2ron - 6/10/2013, 9:46 PM

I for one am looking forward to seeing this. I grew up on Transformers and can't wait to see the new 'bots.

mgeoff88 - 6/11/2013, 2:16 AM

Ok... Then why was her named used as a hashtag on a tweet of a car in TF4?

JohnWilbanks - 6/11/2013, 5:42 AM

Ummm... if anyone cared to read, that article was from this past April... It isn't like Michael Bay hasn't lied before...

LegendaryOutlaw - 6/11/2013, 6:52 AM

Aw darn that was our last chance to see her in a TF movie, I was hoping for some trashy scenes in that movie.... oh well!!!

"Let her do porn."

Megan Fox does not have the acting chops for porn. She's better suited to hosting infomercials at 3am.
