There were reports that Taylor Lautner would be replaced in the Twilight sequel New Moon.�This is not the case.

After much speculation and consternation among online fans of “Twilight,” Summit and director Chris Weitz said Wednesday they will bring back Taylor Lautner to play the werewolf Jacob Black in “Twilight” sequel “New Moon.”

The character has a relatively minor role in the first pic but a significantly larger one in the second, as he develops a romantic relationship with female protagonist Bella (Kristen Stewart).

With the Jacob character looking older and bulkier in “New Moon” as he goes through physiological changes, there had been reports that Lautner may be replaced. The actor was said to be gaining weight as part of his bid to keep the part.�

This is the same guy who played Sharkboy in the kids film�The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D.�
