Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is confirmed as the new face in Transformers 3. When Megan Fox announced that she wasn’t going to return for the third installment, we all heard (but didn’t 100% believe) that English model Rosie would take her place. Afterall, she has no acting credentials! No matter — Michael Bay announced today that she has in fact been cast.

more Rosie after the hop…

Bay said on his website:

“I would like for all you S4TE fans to welcome Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to the world of Transformers,” the post reads. “As some of you might know, she’s the new female lead in Transformers 3.”

Well — let’s just hope Rosie is pliable and keeps her mouth shut. Legend has it Megan Fox was axed because she couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

Do you think Rosie will be good for the franchise?
