Dylan O’Brienis breaking down why fans won’t see him in the upcomingTeen Wolfmovie.

“It was a difficult decision. A lot went into it. The show couldn’t be more dear to me. It was the first thing I ever did and so many people there are extremely dear to me. It was something I was trying to make work but it all happened very fast,” explained O’Brien, 30.

“We didn’t really know that it was happening and they kind of just threw it at us a little bit, which is fine because we all love the show,” theMaze Runnerstar added. “We were trying to figure it out.”

“But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced,” the description adds.
