Almost a decade has handed since Dylan O’Brien final performed MTV’s Teen Wolf fan-favorite Stiles Stilinski, however the buzz round the 2023 film (obtainable with a Paramount+ subscription) follow-up to the TV present proved that loads of folks remained invested in the character. Whereas O’Brien did not seem in Teen Wolf: The Film, he did just lately reveal the Teen Wolf custom that he has carried on to each undertaking since that sci-fi drama launched his profession again in 2011.
Stiles was O’Brien’s first main credit score, years earlier than main the Maze Runner franchise (and sustaining a life-changing harm on set) and starring in Taylor Swift’s “All Too Nicely” brief movie, and he hasn’t forgotten his roots. Regardless of his causes for to not be a part of the Teen Wolf film, he opened as much as EW about the aspect of Stiles that he fairly actually has introduced on each job of his profession since. He mentioned:
That job will at all times be close to and pricey to me. I nonetheless put on my t-shirt on each job. I carry a t-shirt that was the first one I ever wore on display as an actor in my profession. I nonetheless have it. As a bit of custom, I put on it to my first day of capturing on each job. I thought I misplaced it. It was a loopy, windy day, and I’d dangle my t-shirt on my shorts like a towel, and it blew away in the wind. I sprinted throughout the park to retrieve it. I discovered it in a bush. I’m an excellent nostalgic individual like that, so that will’ve been devastating for me.
Nicely, it is a good factor that Dylan O’Brien hasn’t drastically modified sizes since Teen Wolf premiered again in 2011, as a result of I think about it could possibly be in delicate situation in any case these years and his many movie and TV credit! He truly did not put on the blue Beatles shirt for a lot of the MTV present’s pilot, and the sequence working via the woods was fairly darkish, however the actor evidently makes positive to hold on the custom of carrying it to all units since then. Fortunately, he did not lose it for good in the wind.
Since the present is now obtainable streaming to anyone with a Hulu subscription, new generations can uncover the highs and lows of the Teen Wolf journey. When I revisited the first-ever episode to get a take a look at the shirt, it was virtually surprising to see how younger all the forged members appeared. O’Brien went on to mirror on the sequence nonetheless being found by teenagers so a few years later:
It’s wonderful that that present nonetheless will get so seen by younger folks, that was a tiny little engine that would when it first began. We by no means thought we’d get a full season, not to mention the endurance it has. I’ll at all times be thankful for that in my life.
Not solely did Teen Wolf get that full first season, nevertheless it ran for a complete of six earlier than wrapping on the milestone a hundredth episode in 2017. Whereas co-stars Tyler Posey and Crystal Reed already had a number of credit by the time the present premiered in 2011, similar to Maid in Manhattan reverse Jennifer Lopez for Posey and the CSI franchise for Reed, O’Brien was new to the business. Beginning off a profession with a success present is definitely one thing to be pleased with.
In recent times, Dylan O’Brien has spent extra time on the huge display than on tv reveals, together with Ponyboi and Saturday Evening in 2024 and Twinless in 2025, the final of which is scheduled for a September launch in the 2025 film launch schedule. If you happen to do need to relive the heyday of Stiles Stilinski, nevertheless, Hulu provides each episode. One other Teen Wolf vet just lately confirmed curiosity in a second film, nevertheless it stays to be seen if there is a future for the franchise, and whether or not O’Brien will ever revisit it in methods past his t-shirt custom.
