Reports Theimproper.com, from a New York Daily News article, "While Stewart was not formally offered the part, Snyder was definitely interested in the raven-haired beauty, a source told the newspaper. Stewart apparently thought the success of the Twilight franchises, in which she stars with boyfriend Robert Pattinson, was overwhelming enough. As such, she wasn’t prepared to jump into another potential multi-film franchise. Instead, she expressed an interest in 'smaller, independent films,' according to the News."
