The last of the three human leads for "Transformers 4" has been cast. After a lengthy screen testing process, "Bates Motel" and "The Last Airbender" star Nicola Peltz will play Mark Wahlberg's daughter in the next battle between the Autobots and Decepticons.

Peltz's name was one of several that appeared on a shortlist for the role, but yesterday, when a fan asked if Megan Fox would return, the Twitter account from director Michael Bay's website (via ComingSoon) replied, "No. Female lead has been cast... Nicola Peltz." She joins Wahlberg and newcomer Jack Reynor in the fourth installment of the franchise based on Hasbro's toy line.
