Could the latest British hottie to join the cast of the third Twilight film, Eclipse, be a rival for our favourite vampire Rob Pattinson?

Not likely.

Jack Huston, who stars in the new ABC show Eastwick, will play Royce King II -  a human ( so automatically less appealing right? ) who is indirectly responsible for Rosalie Hale's transformation into a vampire during the depression.

While the 26-year-old is pretty easy on the eye, he probably won't be on screen long enough to draw attention from the main man (or men if you are inclined to prefer Werewolves). Huston's character only appears in flashbacks.

Check out pictures of Jack here and see how he compares to Rob and Taylor .

Filming on Eclipse is set to start next month, with a June 2010 release date slated.

The news of Huston's casting follows our revelation of a very public spat between Summit Entertainment, who are behind the Twilight Saga, and Rachelle LeFevre over the decision to recast the role of Victoria in the Eclipse movie. Bryce Dallas Howard has now been given the role of villainous Victoria instead of LeFevre because of an apprent clash over filming schedules.

Meanwhile, this year's Empire and BFI Movie-Con II is going to include not one, but two new scenes from The Twilight Saga: New Moon movie .

The film's not due out until November 20, but fans will get a sneak peek at two key scenes at the weekend event.

    I am a Twilight Addict for sure! I am Team Jakeward all the way, lol. I reckon Eclipse should be the best version of all for movies... but the books kick butt much more! But if you've read the books, I don't think it matters at all whether this one will live up to expectations, cause the stories have already captured our hearts!

    Well what can I say, I am a total Twilight addict! I love the two films so far- but love the books a whole lot more! They NEED to make Breaking Dawn into 2 films. There are just sooo many amazing parts to it that so many [important] things will end up getting missed out! It is kinda essential that it's made into two films! Please, make two films!

    I ahve to say that Jacob is who I would go with because of his looks but he hasn't got the personality that Edward has. If I were Bella and Jacob had the personality of Edward you would have the best guy in the world!!
