AfterTwilight, some fans assumed thatTaylor Lautnerhad Native American ancestry considering his character’s ethnicity.

We learned that through [preparing for] this film.

However, the werewolves inTwilightare much more akin to skin-changers than the Universal Monsters' idea of werewolves.

Meyers likely did not mean to draw that connection, but it’s there nevertheless.

There’s also the future of theTwilightbooks, which has room to write some of the franchise’s wrongs.

I am not ready to do that right now, I want to do something brand new.
