UPDATE: In a playful twist of fate, Jennifer Lawrence has declared her upcoming collaboration with Robert Pattinson in Die My Love as “revenge” for losing the iconic role of Bella Swan in the Twilight franchise. During a recent interview with Variety, Lawrence humorously reflected on her past audition, revealing that this new project is a full-circle moment for her.
Lawrence, now 35 years old, previously auditioned for the coveted role of Bella Swan, which ultimately went to Kristen Stewart. When asked about the significance of working alongside Pattinson, she quipped, “Yeah, it’s the total revenge that I’ve wanted.” This revelation comes just ahead of the film’s release, set for November 7, 2025.
In the same interview, Lawrence shared that her “favorite part” of working with Pattinson was being in the “same room” with him for extended periods without speaking. “I really appreciate that in a coworker,” she added, highlighting her unique working style.
This moment of levity follows a significant reflection from Lawrence during a past appearance on Bill Simmons’ Rewatchables podcast, where she discussed the impact of losing the role. She stated that not receiving a callback after her audition meant her career trajectory would have been “totally different.”
Lawrence noted that had she been cast in Twilight, she would have likely found herself balancing franchise commitments with other projects, similar to her experience with The Hunger Games.
Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson also shared his own thoughts about Lawrence, recalling the first time he witnessed her performance in Winter’s Bone. He praised her ability to captivate audiences, saying, “I just remember she was like the thing on the scene.” He emphasized her “elemental power,” noting that her talent was evident from the moment her career began.
The excitement surrounding Die My Love is building, especially with a star-studded cast that includes Sissy Spacek, LaKeith Stanfield, and Nick Nolte. As fans eagerly await its release, Lawrence’s playful remarks about revenge and career paths add an engaging layer to the film’s narrative.
This story resonates with many fans who have followed the careers of both actors, highlighting the twists and turns of Hollywood’s competitive landscape. Stay tuned for more updates as Die My Love approaches its premiere date.
