Well, this was a story that moved quite quickly. A few hours ago, when we were fast asleep and dreaming of electric sheep, a rumour sprung up that Mark Wahlberg had moved onto Michael Bay's radar for his upcoming Transformers 4.
It's no secret that there's pretty much a whole new cast coming in for the next Transformers film, but Mark Wahlberg didn't quite seem to fit what we know about the movie to date. Easy for us to say, of course, because you're probably guessing where this is going.
Michael Bay has taken to his website to quickly denounce the rumour, yet also to tease something else. "The Mark Wahlberg T4 rumor is just a rumor", Bay posted, before adding "Mark and I are talking about another film project".
We'd like to think that project is something akin to The Rock 2, but we suspect that's not the case. Still, when we get some solid Transformers 4 casting news, we'll bring it your way...
