EXCLUSIVE Transformers: The Last Knight Interview with Isabela Moner

I'm here with Isabella Moner from the Transformers The Last Knight latest installment. Thanks for joining us today Thank you for having me The your role in the movie Isabella with a Z Call it. She's She's a Latina from the Midwest. So that kind of like yourself Yeah, was that called for in the script or was that something that was brought in? It was something that was brought in.

A lot of the character was just brought in last minute. Michael Bay saw that I could speak Spanish if you wanted to incorporate it, as well as the character itself and the amount of scenes that I was in. It was, Michael Bay was adding me in last minute. I have no idea why, but he would call me. I'd be at home, and I'd think that I was fully wrapped in the movie, and he'd go, "Oh, we're adding you to the last part of the movie.

"You're gonna fly out to London by tonight." And I'm like, oh, great. It's an honor, but I'm tired. And so I would go to set, and he'd tell me what to do as I got on set. I got no prior sides or anything. Well, that's great. We're on the same page with that, at least Michael and I. Because that's one thing I would say about the movie. I would definitely have had more of you in it.

Oh, thank you. More of your character. Thank you. Thank you so much. How do you feel your role or responsibility as far as representing the Latin community? You know, it's hard in this industry not to go to the stereotypical route of a Latino character in a film where Latino characters tend to be a minor supporting role. But I really appreciate the fact that Michael Bay really enjoyed that part of me and he wanted to include more of me in the movie even though the character started off so small and pretty much insignificant to the storyline.

And I understand that it is a big opportunity for me, especially with not a lot of opportunities, especially as a kid in the industry. It's very difficult not to play just the daughter of someone or the second. You know, it's very difficult, but I really appreciate Michael Bay for that and I'm thankful. What's coming up next for you? And can we expect maybe to see any more of your musical side and your musical...

Of course! Yeah, I mean, I wanted to do stand-up comedy at one point. No, I'm kidding. I definitely enjoyed, I enjoy music and I really like writing music. I think that I, in the future, I would like to expand more on that, yeah. Well, I've heard your voice, lovely voice. Thank you. So I look forward to hearing that as well and seeing more of you on screen. Thank you. Thank you so much. - Right. [Music]
