Megan Fox is seeking to transform rumour to fact.

The actress is slamming speculation she was booted from the third instalment of the Transformers action film franchise.

"Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3," reps for the actress, 24, say. "It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.”

Citing unnamed sources, Variety reports the studio and the film's director, Michael Bay, intend to cast another actress as star Shia LaBeouf's love interest to move the story in a different direction.

Shooting for the film, slated for a July 2011 release, is expected to kick off this summer in locations across the US.

Fox, meanwhile, is prepping for the June 18 US release of Jonah Hex, an action film she stars in opposite Josh Brolin, John Malkovich and Will Arnett. (The film has no Australian release date yet.)
