Gossip Cop has the scoop. Given the description it has to be Irina.
“Her “Twilight Saga” character is a member of the Denali coven who blames the Cullen clan for the death of her lover.”
Most people will probably remember Maggie from LOST where she starred as Shannon.



Looks like Irina
My thoughts exactly.. the only difference in my head is that her face is a little less round and a little more long/oval.
That’s so funny they chose her…she’s from Columbus, OH as am I and Esme!
Works for me!
When I saw this I was like, of course.. Another good choice. She will do the angry vampire well…
OOOOOHHHHH!!! Yay!
Everytime they release a new person on cast, I get so excited!!!
Puts us that much closer!!
Her acting was TERRIBLE in “Taken” but I’ve heard good things about her in Lost.
I wonder who’s going to play Tanya, or if they’re even going to do anything with that character considering they completely ignored Tanya in Eclipse.
I think it will be interesting to see how the Denali Clan will be worked in to BD since it has so far been ignored in the films.
The perfect Denali blond!
I’m excited! She’s fabulous! Although, I’m sad that she’s playing a character that dies… again.
I have to say I am pretty excited about this one.
I’ve never seen her in anything before, but she looks the part! It’s great we’re starting to get all this info on the cast!
YAY!
She is PERFECT!!!
OH my all the cast leaks. Cant wait to see the amazons – fierce!!
great
I loved her in Lost. She will be great!
oohh. that’s cool, loved her on lost and taken. very good choice.
I am not sure she can pull off a small red headed girl??? She is tall and even with a wig I am not sure.
@ Emily I swear I thought Irina had blond hair.
Awesome pic Summit. Love Maggie Grace from her LOST days.
Uhmmm Irina isn’t red headed…she has silvery blond hair.
i just think its hilarious – so while filming LOST her and Iam Somerhalder were a couple. Now Ian (Boone) is Damon a vampire on Vampire Diaries. And now his ex-girlfriend is going to be a playing vampire also but in twilight … does now else think this is funny?? or is it just that vampires are everywhere
I think its funny Julissa.
maybe shes a vampire fan?…
definitely, definitely see this casting as pretty spot on. Was exciting when I heard about this today!
so after getting shot on the island she became a Denali?
does that mean Ana Lucia and Libby are also gonna be vampires on page 756?
but seriously, i think Maggie is a pretty good choice. I await to see what she will bring to the movies.
Yay!! I have no idea who she is but more casting news is exciting!! Next Nov can’t come fast enough!!
I love her because of LOST but I wish they picked someone that looked more Slavic… that was my main criteria.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
i wonder who will play tanya?
she´s perfect for that character !
I thought she was good in Taken actually. And for some reason I pictured her blacked haired but she would of been a good Rosalie too.
I can’t wait to see who they get for Garrett and the other clans.
No way..I can see it though.
i am curious as to whether they are gonna write the denailis as cousins to the cullens or will they actually mention the whole “tanya wanted edward” thing?
Woot… She’s gonna die for blaming the Cullens…..
lol. boone and shannon are vampires.
She looks more like a Kate or a Tanya than an Irina. I always pictured Irina with dark hair. Is it time for another lousy wig?
i don’t know her, but any kind of casting news excites me. just 412 days you guys!
