Apparently the two main human characters in TF4 have now been cast... by two people I've never heard of before. (which could be a good thing, so that the robots are the stars, not some over-paid celebrities)

Looking up the pair online though, fans of Home & Away will recognise the guy (Brenton Thwaites)... yes, another Australian joins the Live Action Movie universe of characters.

Nicola Peltz is a daughter of a billionaire businessman, who is likely to be an investor in the movie.


It's interesting to see that the two are about the ages of their characters (as opposed to usual young characters that are played by people 5-10 years older). Nicola (the student) is 17, while Brenton (race car driver) is 23.
