After some previous buzz involving the possibility of Michael Bay killing off Megan Fox’s character in Transformers 3, it appears that the very opposite is true. Despite the friction between Bay and Fox, not only will she live in the next movie, she will have a “great part”.
The feud between the two arose after Fox called her director a “socially retarded Hitler”. Rumors began that Bay was planning on cutting her out of the next movie, with her character being killed being considered.
Apparently, there are no hard feelings between the two. “I love her,” the director said at a Victoria’s Secret show (he directs the commercials). “It’s just that, she’s young. Everyone’s got to give her a break, she [is] only… 23? It’s just hard. I’ve traveled around the world with her and she’s just like this world symbol now, you know?”
While her status as a “world symbol” is certainly debatable, the final verdict from Bay is that she will be coming back. Her presence will definitely play a major role in the final episode of the Transformers trilogy, and her future roles. You’ll see her play a prostitute next in Jonah Hex, and soon after people will realize she can’t act and she’ll fade into obscurity.
Okay, so maybe she'll stay popular for longer than I thought...
