Michael Sheen will return for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn"

For the most part, as the Twilight series has continued, the number of cast members in the film has only increased. Sure, there have been a few notable drop-offs ("James," "Laurent," "Riley," and "Victoria"), but overall, each film has brought on the addition of several new faces to the catalogue of actors in the series (check out this slideshow of the cast, it's positively massive!).

Most of them, once joining the cast, have stayed around for each film, but in the case of the New Moon "Volturi," only half returned for Eclipse. (Not that this needs to be said, but the reason is that only a few of the characters appeared in the book's story.)

Back when Eclipse was in pre-production, there was definitely some questioning as to whether Sarah Clarke ("Renee Dwyer") would return after not being a part of New Moon, but lo and behold, she certainly did. And the same, according to Variety, is true for Michael Sheen ("Aro") after not appearing in Eclipse (again, not because of any drama, but rather since "Aro" wasn't in Eclipse).

He's been listed on IMDb.com's Breaking Dawn page for a while (alongside his fellow "Volturi" trio members Christopher Heyerdahl ("Marcus") and Jamie Campbell Bower ("Caius")), but back in July, FEARnet interviewed Sheen, and he stated that he was "hoping it'll all work out" but that nothing had been laid down for sure just yet. This, of course, led some fans to worry.

Now, apparently it has all been worked out. Happy day! Most likely, it's a safe assumption that the same is true for Bower and Heyerdahl as well.
