Twitchfilm.com is reporting that they have learned that Mark Wahlberg is in early talks with Michael Bay to star in Transformers 4? Wahlberg has just finished working with Bay in his upcoming film "Pain and Gain". If this casting choice becomes reality, where does that leave the recent casting call for a male and female lead? As always, treat this rumor with a grain of salt until official confirmation.

*EDIT* Michael Bay has updated his website to address this rumor:

The Mark Wahlberg T4 rumor is just a rumor.

Mark and I are talking about another film project.

Guys! Dont you see the great potential for a crossover title here? Just picture it... Marky Mark reprises his role from 'Planet of the Apes' only, at the end of the previous film where he landed on what he thought was Earth, instead turns out to be an alternate version of Earth populated by...

If this is true its good news. Mark Walberg is a good actor and can bring alot to the franchise. IMO this is a win. The only problem I see is that being a well known actor, his fee might be a bit hefty that will cut into an already smaller movie budget than the last movie.

However, haters will always hate. If we bring well known good actors, people will hate. Bring less known actors and people will complain that there horrible acting will ruin the franchise and Micheal Bay is just out to ruin everyones childhood.
