Robert Pattinson Jokes “No One’s Team Jacob” as Twilight Debate Returns

Robert Pattinson is bringing back one of pop culture’s most famous debates—Team Edward vs. Team Jacob—and having some fun with it.

During a promotional interview in Paris on March 25, 2026, the actor appeared alongside his co-star Zendaya to discuss their upcoming film The Drama. But the conversation quickly turned to the long-running Twilight rivalry that once divided fans worldwide.

When asked to choose a side, Zendaya didn’t hesitate. She said she has always been firmly on Team Edward.

Pattinson, who famously played Edward Cullen in the franchise, took a more humorous approach. Laughing at the question, he said, “No one’s Team Jacob. That was just a marketing thing.”

The moment became even more playful when the interviewer admitted she supported Jacob. Pattinson reacted with mock disbelief, calling it “crazy,” while Zendaya burst into laughter and joked about buying merchandise to support a possible revival of the franchise.

The exchange quickly spread online, sparking renewed debate among fans. Many people on social media agreed with Pattinson’s take, suggesting the rivalry may have been exaggerated to promote the films and boost merchandise sales.

The renewed interest comes as the Twilight franchise experiences a resurgence. Reports of an animated adaptation of Midnight Sun and growing nostalgia for late 2000s pop culture have brought the series back into the spotlight.

Pattinson and Zendaya are currently promoting The Drama, set to release on April 3, 2026. The pair are also working together on upcoming projects, including The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan and Dune: Part Three from Denis Villeneuve.

Meanwhile, other actors have also shared their views on the debate. In a previous interview, Jennifer Lawrence said she preferred Jacob in the books but supported Edward in the movies.

Nearly two decades after the first Twilight film, the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob rivalry is once again trending—this time with a dose of humor from Pattinson himself.
