Megan Fox Not Returning For Transformers 3? Gemma Arterton Possibly The Replacement

After reading a bunch of stories online it seems that I must be the only person that wasn’t completely surprised by this story, since Transformers 2 Megan Fox has thrown Director Michael Bay under the bus COUNTLESS times in public. Deadline have reported ‘Paramount won’t be picking up Megan Fox’s option on Transformers 3 — and that it was “ultimately” director Michael Bay’s decision. Right now Bay and writer Ehren Kruger et al are finishing up the script for the threequel and “giving Shia a new love interest makes more sense for the story,” an insider tells me.‘ I’m still not a hundred perfect convinced that this story is completely accurate, Michael Bay like’s to mess with people, for Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen he said that Megatron would not be appearing.

Thewrap have also reported that Gemma Arterton is the frontrunner to replace Megan Fox, with supermodels Bar Rafaeli, Miranda Kerr and Brooklyn Decker also in the running. I’m not to sure about that story either because when I interviewed Gemma Arterton a few weeks ago she said ‘I’m having a little break now, but the next thing I do I want it to scare me, I want it to be a challenge. I’ll be playing a stalker though, who’s really fat and ugly YEAAAAAAHH (laughs). The girl I stalk no one wants to play her, because it’s similar to Alice, she gets humiliated, I’m really trying to get these great actresses to play it.’ You never know though, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Edit: “Megan Fox will not be starring in ‘Transformers 3,’ ” reps for the actress, 24, told People magazine. “It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.” So it’s been confirmed
