Fans know very little about the Twilight series other than the fact that it has been confirmed, and that Robert Pattinson will not be reprising his role as Edward Cullen.
So, who could take on his role, without disappointing new and old Twilight fans?
The right actor not only needs to have the physical resemblance but also the ability to portray Edward's quiet intensity, passion, and creepiness. We found 7 actors who may just be able to fill the iconic role of Edward Cullen.
1. Penn Badgley
Penn Badgley has demonstrated his talent in portraying complex characters, such as the creepy in-love stalker Joe Goldberg in YOU. His dark and slender features, coupled with his introverted and calculated demeanor, make him an ideal candidate to bring the intriguing aspects of Edward Cullen to life.
2. Cole Sprouse
Cole Sprouse has matured a great deal since co-starring in Disney’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and whilst he may be way past his teenage years, he still looks young enough to play a high school student, as he did in Riverdale. With his dark and intense look and experience in drama, horror, and romance, Sprouse could easily fill the role of Edward Cullen.
3. Austin Butler
Austin Butler has been praised for his ability to bring iconic characters to life, thanks to his ability to adapt to various roles, with his portrayal of Elvis Presley in the Elvis biography serving as proof. With his tall and intriguing look, Butler has the potential to make Edward Cullen captivating and believable, drawing on his experience from his previous role.
4. Harry Styles
Harry Styles, the hugely famous singer and fashion icon has successfully transitioned into acting with notable roles in Don’t Worry Darling, and Dunkirk. He would make a swoon-worthy choice for Edward Cullen, infusing the character with a more modern touch while retaining the dark allure.
5. Jacob Elordi
Jacob Elordi can be both intimidating and brooding, qualities that align with Edward Cullen's character. His portrayal of Nate Jacobs in HBO's Euphoria showcased his ability to play an overprotective and controlling lover, willing to go to extreme lengths to get what he wants.
6. Timothée Chalame
With his chiseled features and fair complexion, Timothée Chalamet has long been a favorite choice among fans for the role of Edward Cullen. His versatile acting career, highlighted by lead roles in films like Dune and Call Me By Your Name, has proven his ability to balance intensity and romantic appeal. Chalamet's mesmerizing gaze also holds a supernatural quality that would make him the perfect vampire.
7. Jamie Campbell Bower
Jamie Campbell Bower is already familiar with the franchise, having played Cauis of the Volturi. His dedication to his roles, as demonstrated by his recent portrayal of Vecna in Stranger Things, showcases his talent, and he has the look and experience to lead the cast of the Twilight series, this time as Edward Cullen.
