(CBS) She may be on director Steven Spielberg's bad side, but that seems to not be preventing Megan Fox from landing movie roles.

The 25-year-old actress, who was reportedly fired from the "Transformers" franchise by Spielberg after she compared director Michael Bay to Hitler, has scored a cameo spot in Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming comedy "The Dictator," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Pictures: Megan Fox

She will be joining actors John C. Reilly, Anna Faris and Ben Kinglsey in the flick which will tell a "heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed."

Details about Fox's specific role in the film, which is due for May 22, 2012 release, were not revealed.
