Tyrese Gibson In Talks For Transformers 4

YES!!!!! Hope all goes well.

f*ckin awesome! I remember a while back, Tyrese was talking about how he liked the movies because it could introduce new people to the franchise and whatnot. he seemed really genuine about his thoughts and seemed he wasnt just in them just because of the big money (although that's def a factor =P). So, add that to the fact that he was cool and hilarious--and YES I want him to return!

Hope he does come back. Epps is the best human character in these movies.

god I hope not; 3 movies and only one of his lines had any contribution to the whole franchise...

So much for a new direction.

Well...he is one of the best human characters, so this counts as good news to me atleast. I can't see why Bay wouldn't allow him to come back.

We're going in a totally different direction.....with the same damned cast.



I'll be honest and say if we have to have ANY over-lapping human characters, i'd prefer Lennox and Epps, but if we can keep the rest of the characters out of it that would be at least something. Yes, even Simmons. He was tiring and there's nothing more that they can really do with the character....

Looks like we can close this thread now. Everything that can be said has already been said

I think they're bringing back Morshower.

If it were up to me Epps and Lennox would share the lead for the sequel. They earned it. And it would keep the plot in a military action oriented direction instead of the Sam Becomes A Man trilogy we just got.

And I agree they need to keep the number of returning characters to a minimum. No cameos by Mr and Mrs Witwicky. And definitely no Simmons.

Which line was that?

And everyone calm down, he's only asking to be in the movie, not confirmed/signed yet, so there's still hope. But if the movie is taking a 'new direction' that could also mean some kind of timeskip...Tyrese/Epps being in it could still be possible. But like many have said, he was one of the characters that was likable, imo, so his return would be welcome.

"LEFT CHEEK, LEFT CHEEK!!!"
"Maaaaan, if you seen this sh*t!"
"Why do the Decepticons always get the good sh*t?!"

and the foreshadowing quote that could have went places but didn't:

"If god made us in his image, then who made them?"

I'm all for Epps coming back. Even if it's just an appearance.

Love the one returning cast member = WHOLE DAMN CAST IS RETURNING logic reaching going on here. Its Tyrese, not Tyrese and everyone else haha.

While I would've liked all-new humans, which I thought was what was reported a while back, Epps is one of the lesser-irritating human BayFormers characters so it's not disastrous news if he did return.
Every new TF4 news announcement now will be reporting something from the previous three BayFormers movies returning until everything is returning, even the dead characters.

Yup. Good, convincing performances for fairly realistic characters (especially compared to hyperactive Sam). Unlike Shia, neither Tyrese nor Duhamel annoyed me, I'd have no problem with seeing them again.

Well, Rosie wanted to come back. Shia probably will if the pay is good - even if he doesnt want to and heck all the Autobots and Decepticons can return whenever they choose they're just CGI models and half of them barely had voice actors.

I like this Gibson fellow. He gets it.

I'm for him coming back. He was one of the human characters I liked in the movies, along with Lennox, and I always did like how devoted he's been and hard he's worked.

Honestly, though I know it'd never happen, I think it'd be a good improvement if he took the human lead role.

Yeah I can agree with this, I remember YEARS ago when Gibson first got cast and they said "he didn't even have to audition...this role was written for him" and I thought "WHAT? who is this guy who just gets a role and Peter Cullen has to audition" but boy I ate those words. as TERRIBLE as those films were I have nothing bad to say about the characters of Lennox and Epps and look forward to seeing more of them....also (and I don't regret hearing it at all) when did we hear that things "fell apart" with Labouf?

Bad idea, Tyrese. Bad idea.

Shia won't be missed

wait there were 3 other movies already? i never heard of them until now

God, Tyrese sounds emotionally dependent on these movies. I'm afraid of what he'll do if they don't bring him back.

*facepalm*

More of the same.

i hope see dogs is humping in tf4

Well, he's definitely one of the established movieverse humans who I don't mind returning. He always seems to show enthusiasm as well, so that's a plus.

That's the fandom for ya'.

Also, inb4 the numerous Tyrese-related threads in the movie forum.

"Thoughts on Tyrese returning?"
"How do you feel that Tyrese is returning?"
"Tyrese is back, the movies are awful"
"Bay is a liar since Tyrese is returning"
"Favourite Epps moment?"
"Tyrese says he's back guise!"
"Tyrese, mind-controlled or not?"

I don't care what actors are in this movie, all I care about is which robots are in the movie.

Tyrese is just the snowball rolling downhill that will eventually somehow engulf Shia and the parents and some hot chick and whoever and crush us all.

I don't mind if tyrese returns. I like his character a lot. It better then annoying Shia as Sam.

*surprised face*

yes there were!, the first film was released in 2007, the second film in 2009, the third filmw as released last year

Might as well beg for a part. It's not like he's showing up in other blockbusters.

The Fast and the Furious franchise says hi.

You need to look up either "sarcasm" or "gullible" in the dictionary.

You sick little monkey.

im all for what he said very few human charcters i like in trilogy epps, johs duhaml, morsharwer,

no i am serious i did not know there were 3 other movies no joke.

the guy just confirmed he didnt knew there was other films.

Do you live under a rock, sir?

I stand corrected.

Ah, forgot about those crap movies.

It's not even that.... it's one cast member saying he hopes he gets to return, because of how much he loves the franchise. Yeah, between that and how he's actually done a terrific job so far, I can see how people are up in arms.

they were movies? i thought they were crappy discovery channel stuff. i just goggled this......... bay he is................. an ice cream sandwich

It would be so cool if just him and Lennox come back that way all we see is the military and the Autobots go on aweosme missions and they just bash at each other! It will also add a more serious tone to the movie!

please stop acting like an idiot

Not sure if trolling....

New direction, new cast, yeah that's been totally fucked out the window. Sick of bay at this point, get rid of bay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tyrese as main actor would be epic bring him back into nest.

character devolpment could be his character struggling with haveing to come out of retirement to help fight these new comers.

in fact thinking about it would be nice if they used nest again.

now alot of people are going to go hey new direction, well yeah they can now with out shia they get rid of that awakward acting.

actually bay havent contradicted himself, its Tyrese himself who wants to be in the film so badly. if Tyrese is in the film is because bay decided to do this favor to tyrese

I can barely remember who he was let alone any lines he might have said... these films are so lacking that all i remember is ROTF sucked slightly worse than the other two films... can barely even remember who was in the films anymore :/
