October 13, 2009 - The rumor mill claims that a major character will be killed off in Transformers 3.
According to Pop Crunch (via In Touch Weekly magazine), director Michael Bay wants to kill off female lead Mikaela Banes (played by Megan Fox) in the next installment, which is slated for a summer 2011 release. Bay reportedly wants Fox's character written "out of the series in a gory death scene in the first few frames of Transformers 3 and (replace) with another gorgeous young actress."
The magazine's purported source claims "'Michael's pretty much discovered Megan and now he's very quietly looking for her replacement. ... He hasn't decided if he's going to kill her off in the next movie, but he just wants to be prepared.'"
According to Digital Spy, however, Fox's reps have called the report untrue.
Bay and Fox engaged in an infamous war of words this summer during the promotion of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with the actress even comparing her director to Hitler at one point.
