Replacing Megan Fox
The Victoria’s Secret model replaced Megan Fox, who had the female lead in the previous two Transformers films.
Megan Fox’s departure from the series was said to be her own decision, although Paramount suggested it was their call. She had previously criticized the acting demands of her role, which may have contributed to her exit.

Acting Debut and Future Ambitions
Before making her acting debut in the third installment of the live-action Transformers film series, she worked with the film’s director, Michael Bay, on a commercial for Victoria’s Secret.
“It’s very hard to watch yourself, and it’s a very new experience for me. I think I did the best I could, and I’ll always feel proud of that,” the wealthy model said in an interview with BBC America about her role in the movie.
“I would very much like to make another movie. I have no idea what it’s going to be. I’m working towards that and I’m very excited to see what the future holds,” she added.
