VOTE: Who Should Play Jacob in 'Twilight' Sequel?

The sequel to "Twilight," called "New Moon," has recruited director Chris Weitz to replace Catherine Hardwicke -- now rumor has it that Taylor Lautner may be too young to play the older Jacob Black!

MTV News is reporting that Lautner's competition for the role includes actor Michael Copon.

STEVEN STRAIT SHOULD BE ADDED ON THIS POLL. NO ONE IS ACCEPTING TAYLOR TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE MICHAEL COPON IS NOT BETTER THAN HIM. HOWEVER, STEVEN STRAIT WILL BE A BETTER REPLACEMENT AS THE OLDER JACOB. MICHAEL LOOKS TO OLD TO PLAY JACOB AND HE’S NOT A GOOD ENOUGH ACTOR ON THE BIG SCREEN. IF THEY CAST STEVEN STRAIT NO ONE WILL PROTEST AGAINST TAYLOR BEING REPLACED, IMHO.

also if they replace taylor the movie is going to go down hill because people dont like to watch a continuation of a movie with different characters! everyone at my school is talking about it and almost all said that they wouldnt c the second movie because it wont be as good like the 1st cuz of jacob! not to mention the fact that hes supposed to be one of the main characters in the 2nd movie!

they cant replace taylor with an older guy! its completely wrong! in the book jacob is supposed to be younger than bella and edward! and now the director wants to add more of edward in the 2nd movie when its just supposed to be jacob and bella most of the time and have edward near the end of the movie! you just cant do that! yea hes hott but it will completely mess up the book!!
im starting to think they should just get a new director

michael might not be to old but, he sure looks old. well old to play jacob. I know jacob is supposed to look much older than his age in new moon but, jeesh dont exagerate! he doesnt have to look that old. Michael would just look too wierd with kristen. and taylor is the perfect jacob. he looks good with kristen.

If you are going to replace Taylor, then replace him with Steven Strait, NOT Michael Copon. Come on, Steven Strait is soooo much hotter than Michael, it’s not even a competition. Michael looks too old to play the part of Jacob. Steven is taller than Rob and just as sexy on the big screen

replacing taylor just because hes to young looking is just plane stupid!!!!hello bella is no 25 yr old or even 23 yrs old, shes young herself.what kind of meesags are you producers are trying to send to teenages. it’s ok to date older guys. taylor is the right age hes supposed to be playing in twilight .

Steven is only 21.. so he COULD be Jacob.. that is, if for sure, Taylor will be recasted, at which, I REALLY HOPE HE ISNT.

Taylor is the only one I see playing Jacob Black. After I saw the movie I read the books and I could only picture Taylor as Jacob.

How can they replace Taylor if he fits pefectly the role of Jacob already? The change they want is completely unecessary. Michael Copon and Stephen Strait are good actors, but they look too old to play Jacob. Taylor did an amazing job playing Jacob. And to all who watched the movie, Taylor’s face will be the one they’ll see if they think about Jacob and it will be difficult if they changed Jacob. All they need to do is just have some special effects to make him look taller and more bulkier. That’s all they need to do. I WANT TAYLOR TO PLAY JACOB AND NO ONE ELSE!!!!

Stephen Strait MUST be the new Jacob Black!

Umm..please consider Steven Strait. He’s the actor that Stephenie Meyer had in mind as she was writing Jacob. He’s gorgeous!

two words; Taylor. Lautner

Terrible to even consider anyone else. He can definitely pull it off.

Michael Copon is perfect! Sorry fangirls =) i guess lautner could play the first part of the movie, but as the story go along michael is the perfect transformation. try to be more realistic on this and be open-minded. also, no chemistry between kristen and lautner, did you noticed! i guess not, you’re all too busy “imprinting” him .. he’s always second-best beside rob, let’s stir up the competition. i think you’ll like michael copon, anyways, there’s a striking resemblance, you won’t miss lautner.. cheers ^o^
