In a recent interview, Transformers 4: Age of Extinction star Nicola Peltz, who is somewhat of a newcomer in Hollywood, spoke about her anxieties relating to fans' expectations.

Speaking to The Michigan Daily, Peltz spoke about the "stigma" of living up to fans' expectations. The fourth installment of the Transformers series is being sold as a new beginning with a completely revamped look at all-new cast, it is going to be the first in a trilogy. Actors like Jack Reynor and Peltz who are essentially new to Hollywood are the new face of the franchise alongside veteran actor Mark Wahlberg.

The actress spoke about how she was a huge fan of the Michael Bay series and grew up on the films starring Shia Lebeouf and Megan Fox.

"I am a huge fan of Transformers, and the film and what [Michael Bay] has done with these films is so mind blowing," she said. "I grew up with six brothers, so I was a huge--I am a huge fan of the 'Transformers' films and the cartoon, so it's so exciting for me to just get the opportunity to audition."

She went on to talk about how she had huge shoes to fill and that taking on such a big challenge did come with its set of anxieties.

"I think that when you step into a franchise that's already been established, there is that stigma of whether are you going to be able to live up to the expectations of people who've been, you know, die-hard fans of the previous franchise and stuff," she said. "I wasn't even aware of the existence of the cartoon series 'Transformers' until I was about 14 or 15, but I did have, like, a range of Transformers toys when I was really young. And I used to play with those all the time, and I have very vivid memories of them."

Transformers 4: Age of Extinction hits theaters on June 27.
