Robert Pattinson: Twilight fans are special Also at the screening were other regular faces from the films, including Taylor Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob Black, and Dakota Fanning, as well as author Meyer. Welsh actor Michael Sheen - who plays Aro, one of the leaders of the Volturi vampire coven - said of the premiere: "It's amazing. This is a celebration of the fans as much as it is of anything else. They're the ones who've made this so pop so it's great to be able to share this with them. And Sheen said he would have pleasure for years to come thinking about his work on the films. I'm more glad to be a part of it than sad that it's over. I think it's something I'll think about fondly for years to come and it's been a great thing to be a part of," he said.
