While there has been a whole lot of buzz surrounding actor Mark Wahlberg and Michael Bay's return for Transformers 5, fans seem to have forgotten about two key cast members from Age of Extinction.

Could A Transformers Sequel Be Set In Cybertron With New Characters? 

After some long silences and a ton of rumors about Bay abandoning the franchise, some official word has come in about the development of Transformers 5. Wahlberg has confirmed he is returning and also strongly hinted that Bay will coming back to direct. Interestingly there hasn't been as much talk about the two new stars who were launched with Age of Extinction as the new faces of the next phase of the franchise. Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor, who were pitted as the next Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf, for the Transformers series.

But as we hear that some key members of the Age of Extinction team are on board for Transformers 5 the chances of Peltz and Reynor also reprising their roles seems strong. Peltz played the part of Tessa, Cade's (Wahlberg) daughter in the movie and Reynor played Shane Dyson, an Irish race car dirver and Tessa's lover.
