Michael Bay Talks Mark Wahlberg Transformers 4 Casting Rumor

Mark Wahlberg may be starring in the fourth Transformers installment after all.

Recently, Michael Bay squashed an internet rumor that placed Mark Wahlberg in the director's final Transformers sequel, Transformers 4. After some consideration, the "internet chatter" has apparently changed the director's mind.

Today, Michael Bay posted this new response on his official website:

"I squashed a rumor that was on the internet last week. It was about Mark Walhberg. Mark was rumored to be staring in Transformers 4. We are working on another movie together, not T4. I had such a great time working with Mark on Pain and Gain, and he gave such a great performance – well let's say that very internet chatter gave me some ideas. We are at the inception of our story process right now on T4. Let's say some ideas are gaining traction with me and my writer – so I'm here to say thanks internet chatter."

Stay tuned for more. Transformers 4 is currently in development for a June 27, 2014 release.
