Jonah Hill is in negotiations to join the cast of Transformers 2, reports Entertainment Weekly.

The actor, who starred in Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, will reportedly play the college roommate of Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky.

Director Michael Bay recently admitted that he is deliberately trying to mislead fans by putting false information about the robot sequel on the web.

Last summer's Transformers grossed more than $700 million worldwide.
