should they replace megan fox for the sequel?

Most people I talk too believe they replace her with another actress for April. Most could agree that they didn't cast Megan Fox for April for her acting skill but for how she look. I saw the movie and while she wasn't that good but neither really bad.

it'll still be crap, but it can be crap with a competent actor, that'd make it a little bit better.

Well now that I think of it idk. But I doubt they would do something like that. They have already stated that they see her as "family", and it was important for her to get the role since she was a huge fan of TMNT.
I lost so much respect for the girl after she told the "haters" to f*ck off.

I said for over a year that Megan should have been Irma/Taylor because it would fit her better and Abby play April. Atleast in my opinion, maybe shared by others to work well.

I thought early on that since Hoag was only in the first of the three films for whatever reason and the fact Turco was a better April that it was possible. For some reason Bay and Fox patched up and it would be likely he would stick up for her. Only if Megan for some reason decided she did not want to. I would like the recast but won't get it. I got my wish with Biggs but no way will I get both recast.

It's always sort of bugged me when franchises change actors like that. I can understand why these things happen, but it just bugs me.

That said - Fox didn't blow me away as April, but she was at least believable.

Keep Megan. She needs the work, and loves this version. Honestly, unless it's a complete reboot, there's no point in swapping actresses. Doing so would be like using a bandaid to treat cardiac arrest.

*shuriken* · 08-24-2014, 02:05 PM

No. Screw Vernon and bring in Casey, but April was fine.

*IndigoErth* · 08-24-2014, 02:37 PM

I'll be nice and say...nah. If they can keep the movie in the Turtles perspective, not hers, I can tolerate her. Although if they did get someone else it wouldn't bother me much either. (Unless it was someone less suitable... they've done that already once though, wouldn't put it past them... *looks at Knoxville*).

*NinjaPug* · 08-24-2014, 02:41 PM

Ha. Like Megan is the problem with the movie.

No, they should replace the producers, writers and director.

This. Totally agree with this. No one in their right mind would choose Vern over Casey. Who's idea was that to include Vern over Casey? That was the OT biggest mistake, too much Vern and not enough Casey. I hope this new series doesn't try to make something hip when it simply is not.

Navin Johnson · 08-24-2014, 03:41 PM

I personally think Megan is to old to play April, that being said I would not want to replace her now. I'm betting Vernon becomes Casey to impress April.

April walks into the hospital room. "Vern, you idiot! Or is it Casey now? By the way, the Turtles send their regards and get well wishes."

*chrisdude* · 08-24-2014, 03:54 PM

No. She's not perfect, but replacing actors is always awkward, and usually bad.

Leolead · 08-24-2014, 05:33 PM

Yes, and this needs a poll!

*Powder* · 08-24-2014, 05:47 PM

While her involvement was on my most-hated list regarding this film, I find replacements to be disruptive, & it messes with my ability to immerse myself (har har). Much to my surprise, she was hardly the worst thing about the film, so I don't mind her returning.

*BabyTurtles* · 08-24-2014, 05:51 PM

no, I think April was fine~ just less of her in the sequel would be nice.

*Slade* · 08-24-2014, 06:10 PM

To me, this is the best work she's done acting wise. Keep her.

MajorViolence · 08-24-2014, 07:29 PM

I'd rather see someone else, but I have no doubt we'll be getting Fox again in the sequel.

RAPHAEL#1fan · 08-24-2014, 07:39 PM

Nope keep her, IMO she did a good job.

Darth Knuckles · 08-25-2014, 08:20 AM

I liked Megan Fox as April O'Neil in this movie. I like that she's a fan of the TMNT franchise too. I see no real world reason to replace her so they should keep her as April O'Neil in this franchise.
