Originally, the film's production company Summit Entertainment indicated it was a possibility Black would be replaced and 26-year-old actor Michael Copon, whose more mature look, it was being argued, would be better suited to play Black in New Moon.
However, since fans of the film have reacted so vehemently to this news and Lautner's doing his best to bulk up his 16-year-old frame, it looks like the kid might stay in the picture. "Everyone would love to keep him. We all think he's the loveliest person ever," Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg told EW.

OK...sorry but this guy is FUGLY! I'm guessing David Boreanaz and Nick Lachey mated and created this poor guy.
He needs to go be in a boy band or something and stay away from the big screen.
Not a sexy guy at all.
