The director of Twilight says Jacob Elordi would be the ‘perfect’ Edward in series reboot

When asked about who she’d want to see as Bella, Catherine said, “I mean, of course, you just mentioned Jenna Ortega, and she’s amazing!”

i absolutely detest the idea of remakes and reboots with a passion but the jacob elordi and jenna ortega twilight remake idea has ignited a flame deep within me

Catherine also discussed what the Twilight reboot could look like saying right now she “doesn’t know” but that personally she would like to take the franchise in a much different direction. She said: “For me, it would be fun to do Twilight in outer space. I would be ecstatic to do that, something totally different.”

Can you imagine Twilight in space? I’m just picturing Edward going to do his sprinting run and Bella not holding on tight enough, with her slowly drifting off into the darkness of space. What would they even be able to feed off in space? Alien blood?!

And, of course, fans of Twilight have some mixed reactions to the news of the potential casting. One tweet says simply, “I don’t want a Twilight reboot, but Jacob Elordi could probably do great as Edward. He seems to be good at playing weird fucking men.” Beautifully said.

Someone else thought that Jacob Elordi wouldn’t go for the role even if he was offered it. They tweeted: “If Jacob Elordi thought The Kissing Booth was shitty just imagine his stance on Twilight.” It’s just the truth.
