Would Robert Pattinson return as Edward to Twilight?

During promotions for Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love with Jennifer Lawrence, Pattinson seemed to suggest that he would consider reprising his role as Edward Cullen. In the lie detector interview for Vanity Fair, his co-star Lawrence asked him if he would come back as Edward. He replied, "Oh yeah, for sure."After Lawrence looked like she didn't believe him and stated that he shouldn't return as Edward, Pattinson added, "It would be great. I like taking jobs off younger actors. I want to play 17 again." While it seemed that Pattinson was being sarcastic and joking around, the lie detector said he was saying the truth.
