It’s a big swing from 18 months ago when Taylor Lautner fever made it look like the young actor was going to take over Hollywood and he was asking massive amounts of money despite his lack of experience, as now the Twilight star is in talks for a supporting role in Grown Ups 2 for Sony Pictures and director Dennis Dugan.
THR has the news, but little is known about the part he will play, although it is said to be an important and fun role, which sees his character squaring off with Adam Sandler’s Lenny Feder. The actor does have some comedy under his belt, with roles in Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl during his pre-werewolf career.
Original Grown Ups cast members Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Salma Hayek, and Maya Rudolph, are all expected to return for the seuqel, although it isn’t certain when it will shoot.
