Overview
- Stewart said on the In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele podcast, which ran Friday, that she was “a pretentious little loser” at 17 and that she and Robert Pattinson treated the first Twilight very seriously and tried to “elevate” the material.
- She described the original performances as both “kind of campy and sick” and emotionally true, arguing that the intense, teenage approach made the emotions feel real for that story.
- Stewart told the host she is not annoyed to still be asked about the franchise and noted that the five films, made between 2008 and 2012, have continued to generate conversation since their release.
- She explicitly said she would be open to returning to the role, saying “I love it, I would do it again,” which matches a warming tone similar to recent comments from Pattinson earlier this year.
- The comments add to a pattern of reappraisal from the film’s stars and could renew industry and fan talk about future Twilight projects, though no new film has been announced.
