Rainn Wilson (NBC's "The Office" and upcoming The Rocker) has been cast in DreamWorks' Transformers 2, the sequel to last year's megahit about a race of automotive automatons, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The sequel reteams director Michael Bay with returning stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro.

Wilson will reportedly have a small role in the sequel as a college professor to LaBeouf's new undergraduate. Discussions with Jonah Hill to take another small role did not pan out.

The story was conceived by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who wrote the first movie, as well as Ehren Kruger, who wrote the screenplay. Filming began in Los Angeles in recent weeks and is moving to Pennsylvania and then overseas.
