Micahel Sheen has been cast as the Volturi vampire Aro. You may know Sheen from his role as Lucian the werewolf in the Underworld movies.
Personally I am THRILLED with this selection. Sheen is a great actor and he knows how to play an other-worldly character.
Sheen, having played Lucian in the “Underworld” series, is no stranger to the vampire vs. werewolf conflict. Although the films draw on some of the same themes as the “Twilight” series (hello forbidden love!), he will be playing for the other team this time, switching gears from werewolf to vampire. Could this provide some interesting insight for the Aro character?
