Why was Megan Fox not in Transformers 3?

Released on June 28, 2011, the third Transformers film hit theatres featuring Rosie as the new protagonist woman.

At the time of the movie’s initial release, Megan’s team claimed she had chosen to leave the franchise on her own accord.

For the first two live-action Transformers films, Megan was the female lead and Shia‘s on-screen girlfriend.

During an interview with Wonderland in 2009, Megan made comments about Michael Bay – the Transformers director – which reportedly resulted in her departure from the third installment.

“He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad man reputation,” she said at the time, of working with Bay.

“He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. 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.”

She continued: “He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant.”

In a 2011 interview covered by Deadline, Bay said Transformers’ executive producer, Steven Spielberg, encouraged him to fire Megan.
