Rumor: Transformers 3 - Who Will Play Mikaela?

Mikaela lives?

I concur.

I call shenanigans. I think these are all nothing but rumours, as the suggested names are all too big of names. It reads more like a fanboy's wishlist than an actual casting list.

I think Fox will be back, and this is either more of Bay's misinformation or a rumour generated from an unreliable source.

Funny you should say that... cause I'm pretty sure this is a re-cast of Mikaela, not a new character... they want someone who is somewhat similar in looks to play the part...

Eeeughh, if they wanted to recast her, they should have done it in the second movie. I dunno, I always got the feeling that Bay prefered to work with people who just did what he said without questioning him. This change in cast seems to be timed just after Fox said something about wanting to input some of her own ideas, such as not being so tanned. I bet if he thought he could get away with it, he'd send Shia packing too.

I'm guessing she moves halfway across the country. Sorry, just brainstorming.

I thought I was the only one who was creeped-out by her thumbs.

Well, my little invested interest in this film has just been cut in half. No Megan means I'm not going to be too pressed to see this film, may even just wait till it premieres on HBO.

Ah, 3rd movie films in franchises are sensitive matters. And I'm not too hot about their choosen replacement, I wasn't too impressed with her work on Titans or Bond, and pairing her with Shia just feels too much like....courgar-ville. I'm not even sure if there is a significant age difference. But seeing her already paired with full grown men in other roles and then thrown in with Shia....who doesn't have the poise of being fully grown just yet....just strikes me as icky for a Transformers film.

Honestly, as much as i like eye candy they should just drop the character if they are serious and skip the love interest thing all together. As much as replacing co-actors is common in film franchises, it's rarely successful. Iron Man 2 and the Dark Knight were good at it because the chemistry between the two characters wasn't really founded (Tony and Rhodes) to where we didn't mind or outstanding elements were in play (Batman Begins, Heath Ledger passing).

Aw well, still luv ya Megan!

Based on the fact that I can see similarities that favor Fox in all the women considered for the part, I would say it's a re-cast... I think they are throwing misinformation in with Fox leaving, possibly doing it on purpose cause of opportunity, a new "love interest" seems like misinformation thrown in, cause it'll take up too much of the movie to explain and build up a relationship with someone new... take a look at these pics and tell me I don't have a legitimate reason to believe it's a re-cast.... remember, they can use hair coloring
