Megan Fox’s ‘Transformers 5’ Return Possible – Report
Megan Fox might be back in “Transformers 5.”
According to Movie Pilot, there is a possibility that the 28-year-old actress might make a comeback on the multi-billion-dollar film franchise since the original cast and director aren’t coming back for a fifth movie.
The fourth film, “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” is losing its star, Mark Wahlberg, and director, Michael Bay. Although the ending opened possibility of another film, the franchise is left without a familiar face on camera or at the helm.
Wahlberg took over the billing credit from the first three film’s previous star, Shia LaBeouf, for the fourth film. And with LaBeouf also not returning, the Web site speculated that Fox may be called to take over.
She already expressed her desire to return to the franchise in a previous interview, so her there wouldn’t be a problem on her part.
Fox was taken off the third film after saying working with Bay was like working with Hitler. However, the two have since made up, and Bay even reportedly helped Fox get the role of April O’Neil in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” film.
There would be a problem with Fox returning to her role as Mikaela Banes in “Transformers,” though. Since she is also under contract to do a TMNT sequel, if there is going to be one, that would take her time to do “Transformers 5,” which is also not a concrete project yet.
Meanwhile, Fox has promised to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge after learning she was nominated by Korean star Rain.
While in the Asian nation to promote “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” she was informed on the local “Entertainment Weekly” show that Rain has publicly nominated her.
“Me? Okay, so now I have to do it,” she said, saying she will both donate to the cause and pour iced water on her.
“I didn’t know, no one told me [about Rain’s nomination] so thank you for telling me.”
She later told a press conference that she was currently sick so she couldn’t take the challenge right then and there. But if she could, she would ask Rain himself to pour the iced water on her while he’s shirtless.
