Ashley Greene has been appearing mainly in thrillers and TV films. Greene, who played the delightfully kooky Alice Cullen, starred in the one-season wonder Pan Am the same year that Breaking Dawn Part 2 was released.

Since then, Greene has appeared in indie films like CBGB and Wish I Was Here, as well as VOD-only films like Staten Island Summer and Urge. She also had a small role in Bombshell as TV journalist Abby Huntsman.

She starred in the Netflix horror film Aftermath in August, and in 2022, she’ll co-star with Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman and more in The Retirement Plan. She also has Max & Me and Some Other Woman coming up.

On the television front, Greene, 34, appeared in 17 episodes of DirecTV’s Rogue and YouTube’s Step Up: High Water, which was cancelled and then picked up by Starz. She also appeared in Christmas on My Mind and The Charm Bracelet (originally titled A Little Christmas Charm).

Greene has 1.8 million followers on Instagram and 1.7 million on Twitter.

9. Nikki Reed

Reed, who played Edward’s ice queen sister Rosalie, was a child star due to her role in the controversial film Thirteen.

But since Twilight ended, Reed hasn’t acted that much. She’s appeared in multiple direct-to-video films like Pawn, Empire State, In Your Eyes and About Scout. Reed also appeared in 18 episodes of Sleepy Hollow as Betsy Ross, an episode of Dollface, and five episodes of V-Wars, which starred her husband Ian Somerhalder. Before that, she hadn’t acted since 2016.

Instead, Reed, 33, has been focusing on activism and her sustainable jewellery line, BaYou with Love.

She has currently has 3.6 million Instagram followers and 762,800 Twitter followers.

8. Kellan Lutz

Kellan Lutz, 36, appeared in all five Twilight films as the boisterous Emmett Cullen, Edward’s brother. Once the films ended, Lutz was poised to become one of Hollywood’s next leading men, but due to some questionable career choices, he’s been relegated to TV.

What was meant to be his big break, 2014’s The Legend of Hercules, ended up being a huge box-office bomb. After that, Lutz had a small role in The Expendables 3 and roles in VOD films like Money and Extraction.

In 2019, he appeared on two episodes of FBI to set up the new spin-off, FBI: Most Wanted, in which he starred in for the first three seasons. He left the show in September to move back to California with his family.

He’ll appear in the war film Come Out Fighting with Tyrese Gibson and Dolph Lundgren in 2022, as well as in What Remains with Cress Williams.

Lutz has one million followers on Instagram and 877,700 on Twitter.

7. Taylor Lautner

Pre-Twilight, Lautner was already very famous to a certain age group – those who had grown up with Shark Boy and Lava Girl. Lautner was cast in Twilight as Jacob Black, but he was very close to being re-cast for New Moon and subsequent films due to the physical transformation Jacob went through. Instead, Lautner put on pounds of muscle and remained in the cast.

After Breaking Dawn Part 2, Lautner’s career slowed down. He’s only appeared in four films since the series ended: Grown Ups 2 in an uncredited role, Tracers, The Ridiculous Six and Run the Tide in 2016. But he had a recurring, starring role in BBC One’s Cuckoo from 2014 to 2018, and he appeared in Scream Queens in 2016.

However, he’ll be returning to the big screen soon, with a role in Home Team, a film based on NFL coach Sean Payton’s time coaching his son’s sixth grade football team.

Nostalgia clearly helps Lautner, 29, on social media – he has 7.1 million followers on Instagram.

6. Mackenzie Foy

While Mackenzie Foy, 21, only appeared in two films as Renesmee Cullen (Breaking Dawn 1 & 2), her character made quite the impression. She was even nominated for a Young Artist Award.

Since then, Foy has appeared in The Conjuring (a mega-hit), Interstellar (mega-hit), and The Little Prince (the most successful French animated film abroad of all time). She got her first chance at a real leading role with The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, which ended up as a box-office bomb, but it had a budget of over US$100 million, which is still a huge opportunity.

Foy also starred in Disney+’s Black Beauty in 2020 alongside Kate Winslet, and she has 1.7 million followers on Instagram and 67,900 on Twitter (although she hasn’t tweeted since 2018).

5. Booboo Stewart

Booboo Stewart, who played the adorable Seth Clearwater starting with Eclipse, has kept very busy since the end of the film series. He joined the X-Men universe in 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past as Warpath, starred in all three Descendants films as Jay, the son of Jafar, popped up in Westworld and co-starred in 2020’s Let Him Go with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane.

Up next is the film Those Who Walk Away with his father, and (potentially) a second season of Julie and the Phantoms on Netflix. The 27-year-old also stars in the Prime Video musical series Paradise City, a continuation of the characters from the film American Satan.

Stewart currently has 2.1 million followers on Instagram.

4. Christian Serratos

Christian Serratos might not have had the biggest part in Twilight, but she received the role of a lifetime playing Selena Quintanilla in the Netflix series about her life.

Serratos, who played Bella’s sweetly shy friend Angela, has been starring in The Walking Dead as Rosita Espinosa since 2014. But her big break came in 2020 when she was cast as famed Tejano icon Selena, who was murdered in 1995.

Serratos, 31, played the singer in Netflix’s Selena: The Series, which covers her rise to fame and eventual untimely death.

The first part was released in December 2020, and the second part dropped in May 2021. Though the critical reception was tepid, Netflix announced it was watched by 25 million households in the first 28 days after its debut.

She currently has 2.6 million followers on Instagram.

3. Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart is almost unrecognisable from her days as leading damsel in distress Bella Swan. After the end of Twilight and the critical flop that was Snow White and the Huntsman, Stewart focused on prestige projects like Clouds of Sils Maria, Still Alice and Personal Shopper.

In 2019, she began exploring mainstream films again, appearing in Charlie’s Angels that year. In 2020, she starred in the sci-fi horror film Underwater and the first major LGBTQ+ holiday romcom, Happiest Season.

No doubt to the disappointment of her fans, she doesn’t have any social media accounts.

2. Anna Kendrick

The same year Anna Kendrick, 36, appeared in New Moon, she also co-starred in Up in the Air alongside George Clooney and was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actress. The next year, at the same time as Eclipse, she appeared in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Essentially, she was already reaching levels of stardom that others in the cast would aspire to – and she was playing the minor role of Jessica, one of Bella’s friends in Twilight.

The year after Breaking Dawn Part 2, Kendrick starred in her own franchise Pitch Perfect, which would spawn two sequels, earn over US$100 million at the box office, and earn her a top 10 hit on the Hot 100 with Cups.

Besides Pitch Perfect, Kendrick has also starred in musicals like Into the Woods and The Last Five Years, was nominated for an Emmy for her work in Dummy, starred in one of HBO Max’s first original series Love Life, joined another franchise with Trolls, and wrote a memoir. Other popular films she’s been in include A Simple Favour, Noelle and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, among others.

Most recently, she starred in the Netflix sci-fi film Stowaway in April, and she will star in the thriller Alice, Darling.

She also has 19 million followers on Instagram and seven million on Twitter.

1. Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson has leveraged the clout he earned from Twilight to become a legitimate, major film star – and the next Batman.

Robert Pattinson already had a small reputation from his role in the Harry Potter series, but when he was cast as Edward Cullen, he almost immediately became an A-lister.

After concluding the last Twilight film, Pattinson focused on working with talented directors, like the Safdie brothers (Good Time), Werner Herzog (Queen of the Desert), Claire Denis (High Life), Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse) and Christopher Nolan (Tenet) – the last one was also his reintroduction into blockbuster films.

Pattinson, who also does not have an Instagram account, is now facing his biggest role yet: in 2022, the 35-year-old actor will be the latest in a line of stars to take on Bruce Wayne’s cape and cowl in The Batman, solidifying his leading man status forever – and earning the top spot on our list.
