Lots have been speculating about the news of Megan Fox being removed from Transformers 3. From my understanding she was already on the set and doing some scenes when it was revealed that she would be removed from the picture and replaced by another, capable, actress. Well, a new detail regarding her removal has finally been reveled by director Michael Bay.

…during the making of “Transformers 3,” Fox refused to put on some weight or tan to play the role of Mikaela. Bay insisted that she looked the way she did in the first two films, but Fox felt that tanning is dangerous and ended up quitting.
Now comes word from Bay that Fox never quit and that it was producer Steven Spielberg who fired her after she compared Bay to Hitler, which is a sensitive topic for the “Schindler’s List” director. “You know the Hitler thing? Steven [Spielberg] said, ‘fire her right now,'” Bay revealed at the “Transformers 3” premiere.
It’s one thing if someone says to fire someone from the set. I mean, maybe they can get away with not firing a lighting or camera guy. It’s another thing if the order came from the producer and a double-triple whammy if said producer is Steven freaking Spielberg. I think that may be enough grounds for Steven to never want to work with her again. Shame too cus those Transformers films were helping her maintain some appreciable exposure each time her popularity began to wane.
