In 2016, she temporarily joined the cast of the Fox sitcom New Girl, filling in for star Zooey Deschanel, who was out on maternity life. She breathed new life into the aging sitcom as Reagan, an aloof, glamorous drug company rep who falls into a relationship with slacker Nick (Jake Johnson). Meanwhile, her roles in the upcoming James Franco period comedy Zeroville and the dark ensemble comedy Big Gold Brick prove that there’s life after giant transforming robots and pizza-loving sewer ninjas for Megan Fox.
