The franchise began with the release of Twilight in 2008 and went on to become a global phenomenon, particularly among younger audiences. Its sequels—New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010), and the two-part finale Breaking Dawn (2011–2012)—cemented Lautner’s status as one of the most recognisable faces of the series.

Before achieving worldwide recognition, Lautner had started his career as a child actor, appearing in family-oriented films such as The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. His background in martial arts also played a role in shaping many of his early screen performances, particularly in physically demanding roles.

Following the success of Twilight, Lautner attempted to branch out into action-oriented projects, taking on lead roles in films such as Abduction as he worked to establish himself beyond the hugely popular vampire romance franchise.
