A recent report about The Twilight Saga has garnered a lot of excitement among the fans of the movie franchise. On August 27, 2025, a poster featuring the lead cast of the Twilight movie series was released as a collaborative post by the official Instagram handles of Twilight, Lionsgate and Fathom Entertainment.
The poster for The Twilight Saga featured the text “Forever Begins Again” and the bottom of the photo read “This October” in bold letters. There were many fan theories that their favourite franchise is back with a new release. However, further reports clarified the speculations and stated that there are no plans for a new Twilight movie, instead, the franchise has decided to re-release all five Twilight movies in theatres for a limited run.
It has been 15 years since the release of The Twilight Saga, which was released in June 2010. The main cast members became sought-after stars of Hollywood and received numerous opportunities in their subsequent careers. Amid the much anticipation, let us take a look at the cast’s transformation over the years.
#1. Kristen Stewart, who played ‘Bella Swan’, looks unrecognisable
Kristen Stewart was only 18 when she starred in the first Twilight movie in 2008 as ‘Bella Swan’ and was also a part of the fifth and last part of the franchise. She had arguably undergone the biggest transformation since then. All thanks to her changing hairstyles that she looks completely unrecognisable. She is the first actress to win the coveted French honour since Adrien Brody.
#2. Robert Pattinson, who played Edward Cullen, turned more handsome
Robert Pattinson, who swooned millions of hearts with his role as vampire, ‘Edward Cullen’, has surely aged like a fine wine. The handsome actor, who was later seen in films like Good Time, The Lighthouse, Damsel, High Life, and many more also went on to become the face of many prominent brands.
#3. Taylor Lautner, who played ‘Jacob Black’ didn’t age
The franchise had a cult following over the years, and people who were die-hard fans were either on Jacob’s side or Edward’s side. The actor, who has appeared in films such as Abduction, Scream Queens, and Valentine’s Day, doesn’t look a day older, and it feels as if he hasn’t aged in the last 15 years.
#4. Ashley Greene’s transformation from ‘Alice Cullen’
Ashley Greene stunned everyone in the Twilight franchise as she played ‘Alice Cullen’. Her carefree attitude in Twilight was one of the highlights of her role. After Twilight, Ashley went to act in horror flicks and was seen in films and TV shows like Staten Island Summer, Indubious Battle, and Bombshell. Ashley’s hairstyle has certainly changed, but her overall appearance remains almost the same.
#5. Nikki Reed, who played ‘Rosalie Hale’ looks unrecognisable
The golden-haired girl, ‘Rosalie Hale’, played by the versatile Nikki Reed, was another important character in the franchise. Nikki’s golden hair was the highlight of the show, but in reality, she is a brunette. Her career has experienced a significant rise since 2012, with notable appearances in projects such as Sleepy Hollow, Dollface, and V-Wars.
#6. Anna Kendrick aka ‘Jessica Stanley’ underwent a huge transformation

It’s not just her career that took a high, but also her looks as she turned more glamorous.
#7. Kellan Lutz aka ‘Emmet Cullen’ looks incredibly different
Kellan Lutz played ‘Emmett Cullen’ in the Twilight films. The actor who got multiple offers built some muscles and looked completely different from the character of Emmet he played 15 years back. He was seen in Netflix live-action series, The Guardian of Justice.
#8. Peter Facinelli, who played ‘Carlisle Cullen’ looks unrecognisable
