For the second time, Twilight star Taylor Lautner has departed from a super hero-type film. We learned several months ago he was leaving Max Steel due to scheduling conflicts, and now he’s out of Stretch Armstrong too.

The change follows an announcement today that the Stretch Armstrong project would move from Universal to Relativity Media, reports Heat Vision:

Lautner is no longer involved, and neither are director Rob Letterman or Imagine Entertainment as producers.
But without those elements, Relativity is moving full steam ahead, setting an April 11, 2014, release date for what it is calling a live-action tentpole. Relativity’s Ryan Kavanaugh, Hasbro’s Brian Goldner and Bennet Schnier are producing while Relativity’s Tucker Tooley is exec producing. Letterman is also exec producing.

We had learned in September that the film was undergoing script changes.

Should Lautner continue looking for super hero/action star roles, or should he be focusing on other genres?
