It wouldn’t be the same in the eyes of many fans if Jacob Black was played by anyone other Taylor Lautner and now Kristen Stewart chimes in on how she feels about Lautner reprising his role for the ‘Twilight’ sequel, ‘New Moon.’ 

“I’m so glad they didn’t have to find somebody else; we already had him!” she tells MTV News. “I didn’t understand all the deliberation on [whether to bring him back]. But now that it’s set, we can all rest.”

Stewart and Lautner are gearing up to begin shooting this March and Lautner’s new added muscle will go a long way toward making him believable as his werewolf character changes so dramatically this time around.

Stewart is also looking forward filming and really likes new director Chris Weitz.

“Chris is — on top of him being a really sweet guy — he is entirely devoted,” Stewart says. “And he’s very clearly not doing the movie just because it’s the next big thing. He really likes it a lot.”

‘New Moon’  is due out Fall 2009 and will be huge. The expectation of fans is surpassing what it was for the original ‘Twilight.’
