Mark Wahlberg is replacing Shia LaBeouf in the upcoming "Transformers 4," but he's going to need back up in the endless fight against the Decepticons.
Director Michael Bay announced today that little-known Irish actor Jack Reynor will be joining the mayhem in the fourth installment of the extremely successful franchise. Although his role has not yet been officially revealed, he is assumed to be playing the co-leading role as the boyfriend to the daughter of Wahlberg's character. IN other words, it's a huge break for the young actor.
He also reiterated the fact that the upcoming fourth installment is picking up where the first three left off "'Transformers 4' is not a reboot," he insists. "That word has been floating around on the net. This movie takes place exactly 4 years after the war in Chicago. The story makes a very natural transition, and reason as to why we have a whole new cast. This 'Transformers' will feel very different then the last three. We are embarking on a new trilogy."
"Transformers 4" is set to open June 27, 2014.

January 9, 2013 at 2:48AM EST Reply to CommentOh no, did he say "we" and "trilogy"? I thought he said he was done after this one? I was hoping for a reboot and to see a new director's take on the franchise. Maybe have the designs closer to the classic G1 characters.
None ya Yup

January 30, 2013 at 1:10PM ESTTrudat Agreed
February 6, 2013 at 1:56PM ESTBlanco First, you don't know if Shia even wanted to be part of it. Second, since when is Wahlberg a step down? Third, who watches Transformers movies for the humans in it? Cmon!

"This movie takes place exactly 4 years after the war in Chicago"...
If Reynor is playing the boygfriend of Wahlberg's (Shia LaBeouf's) daughter does that means he likes a really young girlfriend? Sorry but this just does not make any sense to me, can someone explain how all that fits within 4 years????
wahlberg is replacing shia, as a lead character in the movie, not replacing shia's actual character
February 19, 2013 at 2:48PM ESTJ I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't make sense.
February 20, 2013 at 10:24PM ESTMegan thank u! That's what I'm saying!! It just doesn't make sense! I'm a huge Transformers fan.. n if all this is happening... HOW is it a smooth transition that makes perfect sense?!? Cuz... I don't c it
March 4, 2013 at 3:32PM ESTguest Walhberg will not be Sam in the movie...he will be a new character. It makes total sense.
