Fans of Megan Fox would probably not recognize her with her new look, but before you panic, you have nothing to worry about because she was just in character for a movie she is filming. Photographers have captured photos of Fox with short blonde hair, in an outfit that’s REALLY not her style. But as it turns out, the actress was on the set of an upcoming movie project called Jangsa-ri 9.15, where she portrays the role of war correspondent Marguerite Higgins. The actress was spotted on a film set in South Korea.
The 32-year-old Fox has not been very active in movies lately, with her last movie being Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Fans would remember the actress’ breakthrough role as Mikaela Banes in the movie Transformers, a role she reprises in film’s sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Because of a public falling out with Transformers director Michael Bay, Fox was replaced in the third installment of the film franchise. Her role as Marguerite Higgins is new territory for Fox, who is now adept at playing brunette bombshell characters.
In case you do not know who Marguerite Higgins is, she played a big role in the advancement of the cause to grant fair access to women war correspondents, as she covered three well-known wars — the Korean War, the Vietnam War and World War II. It was for the New York Herald Tribune that Higgins wrote for, where she had a very long and fruitful career that lasted 21 years. Higgins also holds the record of being the first female journalist to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Foreign Correspondence. She received this high honor for covering the Korean War.
It looks like the Fox is ready to take on more mature and serious roles, because sources have said that the actress is very passionate about portraying the role of Higgins really well.
