Practically a decade has handed since Dylan O’Brien final performed MTV’s Teen Wolf fan-favorite Stiles Stilinski, however the buzz across the 2023 film (out there with a Paramount+ subscription) follow-up to the TV present proved that loads of individuals remained invested within the character. Whereas O’Brien did not seem in Teen Wolf: The Film, he did not too long ago reveal the Teen Wolf custom that he has carried on to each challenge 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 damage on set) and starring in Taylor Swift’s “All Too Effectively” 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 concerning the factor of Stiles that he fairly actually has introduced on each job of his profession since. He mentioned:
That job will all the time be close to and expensive to me. I nonetheless put on my t-shirt on each job. I carry a t-shirt that was the primary one I ever wore on display screen as an actor in my profession. I nonetheless have it. As slightly custom, I put on it to my first day of taking pictures on each job. I believed I misplaced it. It was a loopy, windy day, and I’d grasp my t-shirt on my shorts like a towel, and it blew away within the wind. I sprinted throughout the park to retrieve it. I discovered it in a bush. I’m a brilliant nostalgic individual like that, so that might’ve been devastating for me.
Effectively, 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 may very well be in delicate situation in any case these years and his many movie and TV credit! He really did not put on the blue Beatles shirt for a lot of the MTV present’s pilot, and the sequence operating by means of the woods was fairly darkish, however the actor evidently makes certain to hold on the custom of carrying it to all units since then. Fortunately, he did not lose it for good within the wind.
For the reason that present is now out there streaming to anyone with a Hulu subscription, new generations can uncover the highs and lows of the Teen Wolf journey. Once I revisited the first-ever episode to get a have a look at the shirt, it was nearly surprising to see how younger all of the solid members regarded. O’Brien went on to mirror on the collection nonetheless being found by teenagers so a few years later:
It’s superb that that present nonetheless will get so seen by younger individuals, 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 all the time be pleased about that in my life.
Not solely did Teen Wolf get that full first season, but it surely ran for a complete of six earlier than wrapping on the milestone a centesimal episode in 2017. Whereas co-stars Tyler Posey and Crystal Reed already had a number of credit by the point the present premiered in 2011, equivalent to Maid in Manhattan reverse Jennifer Lopez for Posey and the CSI franchise for Reed, O’Brien was new to the trade. Beginning off a profession with successful present is definitely one thing to be pleased with.
In recent times, Dylan O’Brien has spent extra time on the large display screen than on tv reveals, together with Ponyboi and Saturday Night time in 2024 and Twinless in 2025, the final of which is scheduled for a September launch within the 2025 film launch schedule. If you happen to do wish to relive the heyday of Stiles Stilinski, nonetheless, Hulu provides each episode. One other Teen Wolf vet not too long ago confirmed curiosity in a second film, but it surely 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.
