Up-and-coming actress Isabela Moner is being eyed for a lead role opposite Mark Wahlberg in Paramount’s “Transformers 5”, an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.
Paramount did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Michael Bay is returning to direct the action-packed sequel, which boasts the involvement of executive producer Steven Spielberg as well as a litany of writers including Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman.
Moner is poised to play the young female lead of Izabella, a street-smart tomboy who grew up an orphan and was raised in foster care. She counts a small Transformer as her only friend… until she meets Wahlberg’s heroic inventor Cade Yeager.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto will produce “Transformers 5” with Hasbro, and Paramount will release the film on June 23, 2017. Production is slated to start this summer in Detroit.

Hopefully it would be more tastefully designed than Devs was...

Wow that's a bit harsh don't you think also you saying the writer's have a problem as they probably wrote the part with a teenager in mind.

And are we going to get more horrible designs like Drift, Brains and Hound with their'hair'?
Also TF 4 had the worst voice cast with Drift, Crosshairs, Brains and Lockdown .

How in the PIT does a voice cast involving Ken Watanabe, John DiMaggio, Reno Wilson, and Mark Ryan classify as the "worst"?
Also, if the criteria for bad design is hair, that means Alpha Trion, Arcee, Wreck-gar, Scourge, and Unicron all have "terrible designs" as well.

A tom boy isn't the same as a boy. Can't wait to see how they top the short shorts and trying to explain why the boyfriend wasn't a pedophile in the last movie.

To be fair the ages were only an issue because of where the film took place. Had it took place in the UK, there would if been no problem and no one would of batted an eyelid
