The official website of The York Press, a local daily newspaper for communities in North and East Yorkshire, UK, and is based on the city of York, is reporting in the following article that Nickelodeon Movies star Nicola Peltz, who played Katara in M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" in 2010, which was a big screen live-action adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon original animated series (Nicktoon) "Avatar: The Last Airbender", has been cast as the lead female role in Paramount Pictures' upcoming sequel to their "Transformers" movie franchise, "Transformers 4", which will be directed by Michael Bay. IMDb is also reporting that Nicola Peltz will be playing the daughter of Mark Wahlberg and will be the go-to human for the Autobots.

Nicola Peltz has been confirmed for the lead female role in the upcoming 'Transformers 4' movie, following in the footsteps of Megan Fox and Rosie-Huntington-Whiteley.

Nicola Peltz is set to star in 'Transformers 4'.

The up-and-coming actress has been confirmed for the lead female role in the Michael Bay-directed alien robot blockbuster, joining Mark Wahlberg and Jack Reynor.

Asked whether former 'Transformers' star Megan Fox might return for the forthcoming movie on Twitter, Bay responded: "No. Female lead has been cast. Nicola Peltz."

The 18-year-old actress previously starred in M. Night Shyamalan's 'The Last Airbender' in 2009, which was a big screen adaptation of the Nickelodeon animated series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'.

Peltz is currently working on TV show 'Bates Motel', which is a loose prequel to Alfred Hitchcock's serial killer horror, 'Psycho', and follows the lives of a teenage Norman Bates and his mother Norma.

Based on early plot outlines, it looks as though the actress will play the daughter of Wahlberg's character, who is dating the arrogant race car driver played by Reynor.


Peltz follows in the footsteps of beauties such as Megan Fox, who starred in the first 'Transformers' movie and 2009 sequel 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen', and model-turned-actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who starred in 2011's 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'.

The latest film, which is set after the events of the previous movie, is due to begin filming in Michigan later this year and is scheduled for release in June 2014.

Michael Bay Confirms Transformers 4 Nicola Peltz Casting News!

We have known for a while that Nicola Peltz has been cast in Transformers 4. She will be playing the daughter of Mark Wahlberg and will be the go-to human for the Autobots, now that Shia has decided to move on to greener pastures.

With that all said, this casting news has never been officially confirmed by the man himself, Michael Bay... until now via Bay’s twitter page:

“@lindazge: @s4te Tell us who already!” Nicola Peltz #nicolapeltz #transformers4

Now that this has been done, let's just hope that this new Transformers will be as good as the first.

Is anyone excited for this movie to come out? If so, let us know why.

Until Next Time…
