Megan Fox takes the #2 position in Nerdage’s list of actresses with geek appeal.   She’s starred in two “Transformers” films and is set for a third.  She’ll appear in the DC Comics property “Jonah Hex” this summer.  She’s producing, along with Brian Austin Green, a film based on “Fathom,” the comic-book series by the late Michael Turner.

Fox may star as lead character Aspen Matthews, or possibly not, she told Celebrity Mania last year.  But either way, she wants someone who loves the character to play that starring role.

“I want someone who loves her and loves the comic to play her. It doesn’t have to be me, but I just didn’t know of any actresses at the time who loved the comic or even knew about it,” Fox said. “So I was sort of fiercely protective of it, because I didn’t want it played by someone who doesn’t give a s— about it.”

Rumors have circulated of Fox taking on other comic book roles, from Catwoman to Wonder Woman to Red Sonja, but those have all been dismissed as untrue.
