Megan Fox Not In Transformers 3 – Actress Megan Fox has reportedly been dropped from the “Transformers” second sequel.
Paramount Pictures has reported they have opted not to pick up Fox’s character for “Transformers 3,” a decision made by director Michael Bay.
“Giving Shia a new love interest [for Shia LeBeouf’s character] makes more sense for the story,” an insider said.
Representatives for Fox, who had her breakout role in the first “Transformers” in 2007, released a statement to set the record straight on why the dark-haired beauty won’t be appearing in the robotic film.
“It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best,” reps for the 24-year-old movie star told People.com.
Reports suggest that Fox likely burned bridges with Bay when she publically slammed the high-octane director, comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
“Michael wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation,” she told Wonderland Magazine. “He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for.”
Fox did note, however, that off the set he was nicer to be with. “When you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward,” she said. “He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant.”
“She says some very ridiculous things,” Bay responded at the time. “And she still has a lot of growing up to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, ‘Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want.’”
However, Fox’s dismissals come as a surprise, since Bay suggested on his blog in October that he was looking forward to working with her again.
“P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back,” he said. “I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture.”
Bay and Paramount are now seeking out a suitable replacement. According to reports, the bevy of beauties that could replace Fox include Emmanuelle Chiriqui (“Entourage”), Zoe Saldana (“Avatar,” “Star Trek”) and models Bar Rafaeli and Brooklyn Decker.
