"It's clear the franchise still has huge potential but with a new leading man capable of taking Transformers in a new, darker direction. Jason could be just the man to do that and his relationship with Rosie would be an added bonus in marketing the movie," said a Hollywood insider. The rumours about Statham's entry into the autobot-war film emerged after LaBeouf and director Michael Bay hinted of their retirement after the third instalment. Critics feel that replacing the former actor-director duo will be a tough task for the franchise.
