Tyler Posey played Scott McCall in the MTV teen-horror drama, which was based on the 1985 film starring Michael J. Fox and ran for six years before ending in 2017.

Despite being the show’s star, Stiles, McCall’s best friend, was also given significant screen time as the two worked to keep Beacon Hill safe from harm.

“It’s a show that I hold close to my heart.” There are a lot of people there who have a special place in my heart because it was the first thing that he ever did.” “[The movie] was something that I was trying to do work, but it all happened very quickly. While it was thrown at us like a curveball, we didn’t mind because we all liked the show anyway. Trying to figure things out was all we could do.”

Dylan portrayed Stiles Stilinski, the best friend of Tyler Posey’s character Scott McCall, during the original run of the show on MTV from 2011 to 2017.

When he was done, he thought it had been left in a good place for him, and he wanted to keep it there. My best wishes are with them, and I’ll be watching it on its opening night.” There is no way I’m taking part in this movie, no matter how much fun it looks.

Kira Yukimura’s actress, Arden Cho, will likewise be absent from the film version of Teen Wolf. Dylan, one of the original cast’s most essential members, will not be returning. Still, Tyler Posey, Holland Roden, Crystal Reed, and Colton Haynes will all be reprising their roles for the revival.

Dylan O’Brien’s name was noticeably absent from the cast of the next Teen Wolf movie when it was announced.

Dylan explained why he turned it down, despite the rumors that it had something to do with money.

There is no need for Dylan to return for the Paramount film because he was content with the series’ conclusion, the actor stated to Variety.

“It was a difficult decision to make. ” “A lot of work went into that,” he said. “It’s a show that I hold close to my heart.” So many people there are important to me because that was the very first thing I ever did. While I was trying to make it work, everything happened in the blink of an eye. While it was thrown at us like a curveball, we didn’t mind because we all like the show anyway. Trying to figure things out was all we could do.”
