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.

Tell "Extra" -- Which hunky actor should play Jacob in the Bella/Edward love triangle?


NEXT: Revolutionary Flashback

 

Taylor should play Jacob- he already has the role nailed and I think if they switch actors “Team Jacob” may not go see New Moon! PLus, Micheal Copon is too old. Jacob’s character is suppoused to be younger than Bella and there is no way he is gonna look younger than her. As for size, anyone can look big compared to Kristen Stewart ;)

Taylor is Jacob. Summit Entertainment is being extremely insensitive to the fans. They need to stop being greedy and thinking about their fat pocket books and do the right thing and keep Taylor. Have you seen the petitions Summit? Start listening to Twilight fans.

That is a good idea to have Taylor play Seth Clearwater. Since Seth is younger and smaller Taylor could fit into that role. I looked up Steven Straight on Internet Movie Database and he would make a perfect Jacob and could give Edward some competition. However, with Robert Pattinson as Edward, there is NO competition. Edward is PERFECT!!

It should be STEVEN STRAIT or no one! Who cares if he’s married. It’s not like fangirls have a chance with him! LOL! Dunno about you but I have no problem “fantasizing” about a married actor! hahaha!

if they’re going to change, change it to steven strait.
i’ve always thought he’d be the perfect jake.
way before they even talked about making a movie.

so has everyone else.
i love taylor.
i think he’s great.
he is young, but i don’t think they should change him.
ugh.

I can’t vote in this poll bec I want Steven Strait (lead actor in 10,000 B.C.) to play Jacob Black. This poll doesn’t even have Steven Strait listed. Steven is perfect as Jacob bec he has a semi-boyish/semi-mature face. Steven definitely has the height and physique to play a “grown up” Jacob. Remember, in the subsequent Twilight books, Jacob matures significantly bec of his supernatural abilities even though he’s younger than Bella. Steven is perfect for the role…he even has similar features as Taylor.

umm…Taylor is suppose to be younger [looking] in the booK. That is the whole point that he is younger than Bella but he is able to be come off as responsible and mature person. Taylor is a great actor and he needs his time to shine as well. He did very well in Twilight and I am hoping the keep him..and to not even change actors when he is suppose to be “older”.

i want steven strait to play as jacob!! you have vivid eyes to see how they resemble each other!!!! but the looks and height will definitely go to steven strait!! his bod is gorgeous just in case watch 10,000 B.C.,, it’s a fiction novel and it’s totally fine to change the actor as long as the role is the same, see my p0int? STEVEN STRAIT is the answer… we better be satisfied with the NEW MOON movie and take note mostly it is all about JACOB BLACK please give justice to his character……

STEVEN STRAIT as JACOB BLACK… perfecto! =)

They have to keep Taylor Lautner. Personally i think this is all just for hype so that people will go and see “New Moon”. I mean shouldn’t the casting people have thought about this before they started “Twilight”???

TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!!! You can’t just change actors! =[ Taylor is working hard. and no one is going to notice his height while we fans are drooling all over his handsome face. You can just computerlize it like they did in Harry Potter. Well, If Micheal wins, I’m not going to watch New Moon. I wish you luck, Taylor! =]

TAYLOR LAUTNER. thats what annoys me mosy do NOT sign a actor for the first movie and then change him in the second. EVERYONE loves Taylor and if they change him i personally think a lot of people will be so upset. Taylor is an amazing actor

Honestly, I don’t see why they both cannot play Jacob. Jacob is suppose to grow and change during the course of the book. Taylor could play him in the beginning of the flick and through some CGI start to change and then Michael take over.
I have to agree, that Taylor is a little too young to keep playing Jacob, who is suppose to have aged, physically, to 25 by the end of the book.
