Jacob Black may not be a vampire, but his transformation into a werewolf and his deep connection with Bella make him an unforgettable character in the Twilight Saga.
Originally portrayed by Taylor Lautner, Jacob Black is not just a pivotal character in the series but also holds a special place in the hearts of countless fans. Finding the right actor to play the passionate and protective werewolf is essential for any reboot.
From a young boy in Forks to a powerful werewolf and member of the Quileute tribe, here are five actors who could potentially bring Jacob Black to life in a new Twilight adaptation.
1. Jaden Smith
You know Jaden Smith, right? The guy who’s been in the spotlight since he was a kid, thanks to his famous parents and his own knack for acting. He’s got this cool way of diving deep into his roles, making you feel every emotion his character is going through. That’s why he could be an awesome pick for Jacob Black. He’s still got that young vibe going on, which is perfect for Jacob. Imagine him showing all those intense feelings Jacob has – the love, the jealousy, the protectiveness. It’d be like seeing a whole new side of Jacob!
2. Noah Centineo
Now, if you’ve watched any teen rom-coms lately, you’ve probably come across Noah Centineo. He’s the tall, charming guy from “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” He’s got this natural charm that makes you root for him in every love story he’s in. That’s why he could totally nail the role of Jacob Black. Think about it: Jacob’s got this complicated love thing with Bella, and who better to show that than someone who’s been the main guy in so many love stories? Plus, let’s be real, Noah’s got that heartthrob look that fits Jacob to a T.
3. Chance Perdomo
So, you’ve probably seen Chance Perdomo in “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” right? He’s the guy who’s always wrapped up in some kind of magical drama. Given how well he handles all that supernatural stuff, it’s easy to picture him as Jacob Black. He’s got this knack for playing characters who are torn between different worlds, which is pretty much Jacob in a nutshell. Plus, he’s got that mysterious vibe that would be perfect for a werewolf.
4. Charles Melton
Charles Melton is one of those actors who’s been all over the place, from TV shows to movies. You might recognize him from “Riverdale,” where he’s always in the middle of some romantic drama. He’s got this strong presence on screen, and those intense eyes of his? They’d be perfect for showing Jacob’s protective side. And given how well he handles love stories, he’d totally get the whole Bella-Jacob-Edward love triangle.
5. Alex Aiono
Alex Aiono isn’t just an actor; he’s also got some serious musical talent. His Polynesian background gives him a unique perspective, and he’s shown he can play characters that are both tough and sensitive. That’s pretty much Jacob in a nutshell, right, and, with his music skills, who knows? Maybe we’d get a singing Jacob in a reboot. Now that would be something different!
These guys, with their unique vibes and skills, could totally give Jacob Black a fresh twist, making a whole new crowd fall for “Twilight” all over again.
