Last Updated on August 2, 2021

The Wrap is reporting that Isabela Moner is being considered for the female lead in TRANSFORMERS 5. According to the site, Moner is being eyed to play 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 Mark Wahlberg’s heroic inventor Cade Yeager."

The fourteen-year-old actress is a relative newcomer who doesn't have a ton of credits to her name, but she appeared on the NBC series Growing Up Fisher, and if you have kids you might recognize her as C.J. Martin from Nickelodeon's 100 Things to Do Before High School or as the voice of Kate from the animated series Dora and Friends: Into the City! Moner also recently finished shooting for the upcoming CBS Films comedy MIDDLE SCHOOL: THE WORST YEARS OF MY LIFE, and is set to star in the planned Legends of the Hidden Temple TV movie.

In addition to Wahlberg, director Michael Bay will also be back to helm the TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION sequel, and production is expected to begin this summer in Detroit.

TRANSFORMERS 5 will be in theaters on June 23, 2017, followed by a Bumblebee spinoff on June 8, 2018, while the seventh film in the series is scheduled to open on June 28, 2019.
