Edward Cullen’s role in ‘Twilight’ launched fame Robert pattinson, but, as is logical, there were different candidates to give life to the popular vampire. Further, Stephenie Meyer, creator of the character, also made it clear at the time that her favorite for the role was neither more nor less than Henry Cavill.
Meyer knew that he had no control over which actors would bring his characters to life on the big screen, but that didn’t stop him from comment in his web page who were your favorites and this is what he commented in the case of Edward:

The only actor that I have ever seen and I think can and can come close to being Edward Cullen is … (drum roll) … Henry Cavill
Where Pattinson did appear is among the suggestions of the fans, although he ranked second, since the first was Hayden Christensen. Among the proposals of the followers of the novel were also Orlando Bloom y Gerard Way.
In addition, Meyer also commented that his favorite actress to play Bella was Emily Browning, but also liked the options Elliot Page y Danielle Panabaker, whom we can currently see in the series ‘The Flash’.
However, time passed and Meyer was no longer convinced by Cavill due to a question of age, then proposing him as Carliste … a character for whom he had initially thought of Charlie Hunnam. Finally, the author of ‘Twilight’ gave her blessing to the signings of Pattinson and Kristen Stewart like Edward and Bella.
