The Transformers star - who recently quit the action franchise - revealed that he walked away from talks to appear in the Oscar-winning movie because he is waiting for something bigger.
He told Details: "I'm looking for Warren Beatty-type game changers."
LaBeouf also admitted to rejecting The Bourne Legacy, Danny Boyle's 127 Hours and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
The actor went on to criticise his choice of big-budget films Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
On Oliver Stone's follow-up to Wall Street, he previously said: "He's trying to play nice. But for a movie like Wall Street that had so much bite the first time around, to come out without fangs and preach a message of hope wasn't what people were looking for."
LaBeouf could be replaced by Jason Statham in Transformers.
The 25-year-old has just finished wrapping the gangster film Wettest County, co-starring Gary Oldman and Guy Pearce.
