The reign of Robert Pattinson is coming to a close and there is a new era of hottie on the way. Unlike Robert Pattinson’s pale and mysterious good looks, a tannier, beefier group of guys is taking over the ‘Twilight’ series for the upcoming sequel, ‘New Moon.’
These toned werewolves have a much larger role in ‘New Moon’ (and they are much larger than their vampire counterparts as well). A buffer Taylor Lautner returns with much more muscle and actors Alex Meraz, Chaske Spenser, Bronson Pelletier, and Kiowa Gordon join Robert Pattinson in the drool-worthy goodness of classic manhood that graces the cast of ‘New Moon.’
It’s official: Vampires are out, and everything werewolf is in.
