The studio finally listened to Stephenie and all of us and they are casting Henry Cavill as our Edward. I am still shaking because our vision for this character is actually happening. My heart is so full knowing we held out for the only actor who could truly carry that …
Henry Cavill IS Edward Cullen.
It\'s been said by the original fans of Twilight, and Stephenie Meyer herself.
And being too old for the role of Edward How often in Hollywood do 17 year olds play 17 year olds Not often at all.
We need Edward to act mature, and carry a sense of intelligence that 107 year old beings have.
To quote Stephenie:
"Indisputably the most difficult character to cast, Edward is also the one that I\'m most passionately decided upon. The only actor I\'ve ever seen who I think could come close to pulling off Edward Cullen is....(drumroll)....Henry Cavill. Can you see it I know I can!"
"My perfect Edward."
I have been reading through all of your comments and it is clear that we all remember the exact vision Stephenie Meyer had for this character. Watching the community rally around this specific casting choice proves that some roles truly belong to only one person. We are keeping this conversation alive because the right choice still matters deeply to those of us who grew up with this series.

Seeing this momentum grow proves that I am not the only one who knows who the real Edward Cullen should have been. I have spent years thinking about this perfect casting and it is incredible to see so many people finally agreeing with the author herself.

YES. Henry is the only one who fits the vibe. The movies would have been so much better with him.

He literally fits the description perfectly. Why did they ever look at anyone else?
