Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro Back For Transformers 2!
We knew that Shia LaBeouf would be back, and that Isabel Lucas and Rainn Wilson have been added. However there hasn’t been much talk about the other cast members returning. I think most people thought that they all signed for more movies, but the question was whether their characters would be back. Thankfully, The Hollywood Reporter have confirmed that Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro will be back, playing Mikaela Banes, Captain Lennox, USAF Tech Sergeant Epps and Agent Simmons.
This is good news. It is always handy for sequels, which will eventually become trilogies, to have familiar faces.
More Human Cast Members Return for Transformers 2
Bay promised that the sequel will feature a lot more actual Transformers, but he certainly isn’t dialing back much on the human components. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that a bunch of the original Transformers cast has signed on to return for the sequel. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro will reprise their roles in Michael Bay’s Transformers 2.
I think it has always been assumed that Fox would return as Sam’s girlfriend (or possibly ex-girlfriend). I’m also not surprised that Duhamel and Gibson are being brought back as the human faces of the military, especially since they have tactical experience battling the big robots (or at least that’s what I hope the storyline military’s explanation is, because if Duhamel and Gibson’s characters just happen to be in the right place at the right time, that would be really sloppy screenwriting). I am somewhat shocked that Turturro is being brought as his s7 role seemed to polarize audiences. Some people loved him, some thought he was annoying and took away from the film.

Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake Hook-Up Central
Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake Hook-Up Central
The Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake flings just keep on coming. While Justin shot off to an early lead with Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel, Cameron hasn’t taken long to catch up, with Tyrese Gibson being the latest name on the list.
Cameron and Tyrese partied it up at exclusive Los Angeles Xenii nightclub. The hip hot spot also saw Ray J and Lil Kim getting hot and heavy, while the Simpson sisters mingled amongst friends.
Apparently, Cam and Tyrese made no attempt to hide their feelings, according to numerous sources. One of these informing the NY Daily News, “They made out right in front of me on the dance floor.”
According to AHN, Diaz and Gibson were also seen at a pre-Oscar’s party hosted by Harvey Weinstein, Tamara Mellon and Tracey Edmonds.
Cameron’s rep denies the two are dating, but with Cameron’s recent history, very few truly believed that this was a long-term relationship in the making in the first place.
Since officially splitting from Timberlake in January, Diaz has also been linked to surfer pal Kelly Slater and actor Djimon Hounsou.
