The upcoming Teen Wolf revival movie will unfortunately not include the return of Dylan O Briens character Stiles. How will they address his absence?
The Teen Wolf movie will have a hard time dealing with Stiles absence. In November 2021 it was announced that Teen Wolf would be returning for a revival movie on Paramount+. Naturally speculation grew as to which cast members would return. Although plenty of familiar names and some welcome surprises were listed to appear, such as Crystal Reed as Alison Argent the return of Dylan OBriens fan favorite character Stiles Stilinski was not announced. Perhaps this should not have been entirely surprising as OBrien has been busy with other projects which even affected his screen time in Teen Wolf season 6. Nevertheless his absence will certainly be felt especially considering he was one of the most important members of Scotts Tyler Posey pack.
Despite Dylan OBriens absence as Stiles, plenty of other cast members are listed to return for the Teen Wolf movie. Alongside Tyler Posey and Crystal Reed Holland Roden will be reprising her role as Lydia Martin Tyler Hoechlin will be back as Derek Hale Shelley Hennig will return as Malia Tate Colton Haynes will be back as Jackson Whittemore, and Dylan Sprayberry will come back as Scotts young protégé Liam Dunbar. Plenty of other familiar faces will be coming back as well. OBrien isn ot the only regular cast member not currently known to return for the movie, however. Daniel Sharmans Isaac Lahey has not been confirmed to return and Arden Chos Teen Wolf character Kira Yukimura will not be returning either following a pay disparity dispute.
Dylan OBriens absence will be the most notably felt however. From the first episode of Teen Wolf Stiles was by Scotts side as they figured out the supernatural world together as a team. Though they were each others best friends they considered themselves to be more like brothers. Stiles relationship with Lydia Martin was also one of the core dynamics of Teen Wolf which finally came to a head in Teen Wolf's final season. Despite being one of the few humans in Scotts pack Stiles was an invaluable asset always protective of his friends and family using his intelligence and investigative skills to help strategize against their enemies. The Teen Wolf movie will certainly struggle to escape his shadow as he left a lasting impact both on the audience and the characters of Teen Wolf. It will be nearly impossible for the Teen Wolf movie to ignore his existence.
