Why Megan Fox Left the Transformers Franchise and Will She Ever Return?

Megan Fox rose to popularity partly due to her role in the science fiction franchise Transformers. The first film, released in 2007, was a smash hit, kick-starting a massive franchise that continues to this day and also launched Megan Fox into Hollywood superstardom. Fox played the role of Mikaela Banes, a beautiful and independent high-school girl skilled in mechanics. Fox reprised her role in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen but was fired from the third film before production began.
