Hot comedic actor Jonah Hill might be entering the world of Autobots and Decepticons. According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor is being considered for a role in Transformers 2.

Hill is reportedly in talks to play the college roommate of Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky character at Princeton.

IESB.net also has a casting sheet for the film and this is the description of Witwicky's roommate:

"[CHUCK] 19-25 yrs., Sam's roommate at Princeton. He runs a conspiracy theory website. Funny in an irreverent, edgy way, he is shocked to see his conspiracy theories come to life. (2nd Lead)"

The sequel is set to begin filming this summer for a June 26, 2009 release.

i bet he will have a very minuscule part. when he speaks it will prolly for the most part be humorous. but they did good with the humor in the first one so i think we can sleep easy knowing Jonah will be in it without fucking it up

It's not gonna be overdone with comedy. They want a funny guy that people'll recognize. It's still gonna be all about the 'formers.

if he doesn't speak much i will be quite content with him being in it...... i just hope there is no haha penis haha sex jokes....cuz that single handedly could ruin T2

I'm not sure about this one... He was great in Superbad, but that was another style of movie, I would be happy to see TF2 take a different path that the first part, more seriously approach than the first one. I mean put in some more serious, intelligent jokes, not those typical "happy time" teen jokes...
