Twilight Saga star, Robert Pattinson could soon be trading in his Twilight and New Moon fangs for crime-fighting super powers if director Brett Ratner can land Pattinson for his new film, Youngblood. In an interview with MTV News, Ratner, who directed the Rush Hour trilogy and X-Men: The Last Stand, is currently developing Youngblood, which is based on the comic book that centers around a group of government-appointed superheroes.
Asked if Ratner had any names in mind for Youngblood, Brett said, "Definitely [Robert Pattinson] from Twilight... He just has that look." Aside from Robert Pattinson, the Youngblood comic features a slew of superheroes including Shaft, Badrock and Vogue. Youngblood made its first appearance in 1987 before becoming a series in 1992. Before the coming of age of Robert Pattinson, there was a changing line-up throughout the progression of the Youngblood series not unlike others like the Justice League from DC comics.
Ratner alluded to Robert Pattinson portraying the character of Shaft who was a former FBI agent and crackshot if Brett would be able to land Pattinson, the current global heartthrob from Twilight and New Moon. Would another potential franchise be a good idea for Robert Pattinson this close to the development of the Twilight Saga? Perhaps, but it would definitely push a diversified crowd of Twilight fans into theatres if Pattinson signs onto the Youngblood project. According to Ratner, who elaborated on the possibility in the MTV interview, Robert Pattinson has the potential to develop any character in the film. "I don't see him as a vampire. He's a really good actor."
That may be true in Brett Ratner's eyes but there are still droves of young girls and their mothers who will remain adamantly tied to Team Edward no matter what the outcome is.
