Stephanie Meyer's casting ultimatum, the dramatic stakes behind Twilight's Bella and the Arrowverse star almost took the role.
Team Edward or Team Jacob? 🙃 #Twilight #TheTwilightSaga #Movie
Forget sparkly vampires, Twilight's near miss involved a dramatic writer and a shocking casting choice! Meyer, who is passionate about Bella, declared a casting threat! But plot-wise: she imagined an Arrowverse star first, not Kristen Stewart!
This Bella near-miss (and Meyer's intense rule) shows how close we came to a completely different Twilight. Get ready to explore the franchise with a brand new leading lady!
What if Edward Cullen had a cape and brooding gaze, and not the vampire charm? Before Robert Pattinson brought Edward Cullen to life, Stephenie Meyer, the writer behind the Twilight phenomenon, had a very specific vision for the brooding vampire.
