With Wednesday’s news that Megan Fox won’t be back for “Transformers 3,” that leaves the blockbuster franchise missing one sexy leading lady. Who should take Fox’s place opposite Shia LaBeouf in the saga’s third installment? AccessHollywood.com has run down seven of our top choices..

Ashley Greene
The up-and-coming star has already proved she can handle a multi-million dollar franchise as sultry vamp Alice Cullen in “The Twilight Saga” — and with her dark-haired good looks, she’d be easy on the eyes of Megan-missers.

Olivia Munn
As host of G4TV’s “Attack of the Show” — and with a recent cameo in “Iron Man 2” — Munn’s a geek goddess, though her green-lit upcoming NBC series “Perfect Couples” may mean she’s unavailable for shape-shifting robot action.

Heidi Montag

Within minutes of the breaking casting news, Montag took to her Twitter page to ask for the role. “Michael Bay I love your work! I know what a [sic] artistic brilliant genius you are! Cast me in the next Transformers.” With “The Hills” wrapping up and Montag set on a new career as an aspiring Hollywood action star, perhaps the director should give the complimentary reality star the chance — at least he knows she’ll say nice things.

Megan Fox dropped from 'Transformers 3': report

Actress Megan Fox has been dropped from the third installment of “Transformers,” according to a report from Access Hollywood.

A source who works at Paramount, the studio that produces the film, said Fox’s character would not be revived in “Transformers 3,” as producers want to take Shia LaBeouf’s character Sam Witwicky in a different direction, Access said.

Director Michael Bay apparently signed off on the decision; months after Fox compared his approach to work on set to that of “Hitler” and “Napoleon.”


“He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is,” she continued. “So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so  awkward, so hopelessly awkward.”

Members of the cast and crew labeled Fox as “classless” and “unfriendly” in an open latter on Bay’s personal site.
Production on the third installment has already begun, Access reported.
