The role of Volturi vampire Caius has been cast. He will be played by British actor Jamie Campbell-Bower according to BBC News.
“You’re the first people I’ve told” he said. “Shooting has already started, and I’m going over in June.”
The role of Caius is key to the plot of New Moon. He forms part of the triumvirate leading the Italian based coven of vampires called the Volturi.
Campbell-Bower confessed he was not previously aware of the character: “I hadn’t read the books before. But it’s a great thing to be a part of, and it did very well last year.”
So what do we know of Caius? In the series Caius was almost killed in a fight with a werewolf. He became terrified of them as a result and pushed the Volturi to hunt them to near extinction in Europe and Asia.
