Tay Becomes Superhuman! Lautner Cast As Max Steel

Taylor Lautner is officially Hollywood’s latest It Boy!

The Twilight star has been cast as the lead of Paramount’s upcoming superhero action flick, Max Steel!

Based on the Mattel franchise, Max Steel is the story of a “19-year-old extreme sports junkie recruited by a secret agency after an accident infects his body, leaving him with superhuman powers,” which we’re positive Lautner will have no trouble portraying.

He’s already got the bod for it!
