Despite news of Megan Fox departing from the Transformers 3 film, forced or otherwise, The Wrap and Ain't It Cool News report that there are already front-runners to replace her.

The former site reports that Gemma Arterton, the lead actress in the upcoming film Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. The site also names Bar Rafaeli, Miranda Kerr and Brooklyn Decker as other potential candidates.

Meanwhile, AICN reports via "highly trustworthy sources" several more actresses, including Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage), Zoe Saldana (Avatar), Hayden Penetierre (Heroes), Camilla Belle (10,000 BC), Ashley Greene (Twilight Saga), Amber Heard (Zombieland), Julianne Hough, Vanessa Hudgens, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Seems like a large amount of young, up and coming, attractive actresses are on Director Michael Bay's mind to replace a young, up and coming, and attractive actress.
