The disappointment of Twilight star Robert Pattinson has come to light after the majority chose Team Jacob. To promote their upcoming film, The Drama, Pattinson, along with Zendaya, chatted with French outlet Canal+. For those unaware, The Drama, a black comedy and romantic thriller film, stars both actors as an engaged couple. While Zendaya plays Emma Harwood, a bookstore clerk from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Pattinson plays Charlie Thompson, a British museum director from London and Emma's fiancé. Their story revolves around Harwood and Thompson and how the relationship crumbles when one partner discovers unsettling truths about the other.
During the conversation, a reporter asked a question about the blockbuster Twilight franchise that catapulted the 39-year-old English actor to stardom. He played Edward Cullen, a vampire, in competition with Taylor Lautner's Jacob Black, a werewolf, for Bella Swan's love (played by Kristen Stewart). Zendaya immediately shared her preference, saying, "I'm Team Edward all day, let's go."
Pattinson first questioned if he himself was Team Jacob and then humorously responded to the "Team Edward or Team Jacob" question. "No one's Team Jacob. That was just a marketing thing," he said with a laugh. The reporter tells Pattinson that he was indeed Team Jacob, to which Pattinson replied, "sorry," before Zendaya erupted into laughter.
"That's crazy," The Batman star noted. "Yeah, I need to get the merch. I need to get the whole thing," Zendaya responded. The reporter chimed in, "There's a revival of Twilight at the moment."
Pattinson concluded the conversation by calling the unexpected revival of The Twilight "crazy" and "weird." For those still unversed with the film, according to IMDB, it shares the life story of an engaged couple that are living "happily," that is until an unexpected test turns their life around right before the wedding and throws it off the rails. The Drama will be available in theaters on April 3, 2026.
