Check Out New Moon’s Hunky Wolf Pack

New Moon's Wolf Pack

‘s cast is steadily filling out…and in a nice way.

USA Today has just revealed the four men - Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier - who will comprise the wolf pack Jacob Black belongs to. (Now we know why Taylor Lautner’s role was considered so critical.)

By the way - if you’re thinking that this shirtless picture is nothing more than a publicity stunt, you’d be wrong. The actors, all of Native American descent, will spend their on-screen time this way.

“They went through wolf camp together, and they are in constant training. It paid off as a bonding thing for them and helped them to get to know one another. They drove each other to get more buff,” director stated.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon unfolds in theaters on November 20.

Twilight’s Taylor Lautner Talks About Possible New Moon Replacement


UPDATE: Taylor will be keeping his job after all.

If Taylor Lautner’s really at risk of losing his job, the actor is not going to go down without a fight. Or at least an extra push-up.

In an interview last week with MTV, the 16-year-old addressed rumors that he may be left out of the upcoming sequel. According to a recent report in Entertainment Weekly, the studio was looking to find someone else to tackle Jacob Black’s beefier role in New Moon. Since that time, Michael Copon (Scorpion King 2) and Ben Barnes’ (Prince Caspian) names have been thrown out as possible replacements. (Copon has even gone so far as to imply on his own Facebook page that he was already given the role.)

Given Twilight‘s spectacular opening weekend, Summit Entertainment’s plans for a sequel came as no surprise. (Even if the news was announced after Day One.)
