It has been five long years since the last Twilight movie appeared on our screens.

But its hunky star Robert Pattinson has hinted that a 'radical' return of Stephanie Meyer's world of vampires and romance could be on the cards.

The 30-year-old British actor revealed to Yahoo that he is 'always kind of curious' about what another installment of the Twilight saga would entail.

Returning soon? Robert Pattinson, 30, has hinted that he would be 'curious' to reprise his role as Edward Cullen in a 'radical' return of Stephanie Meyer's world of vampires and romance

To the delight of ardent R-Patz fans, rumours about a potential return of Twilight have been swirling.

And their hero, who married Bella Swan at the end of the last installment, has now admitted he is curious about what a return of the hit franchise would look like.

When asked about the rumours by the outlet, the talented British actor first joked about getting his own Edward Cullen spin-off.

But then the star revealed: 'I mean, I'm always kind of curious. Anything where there's a mass audience — or seemingly an audience for it — I always like the idea of subverting people's expectations. So there could be some radical way of doing it, which could be quite fun.'

Tragic ending: Robert and his on-screen love interest Kristen Stewart, who had enjoyed a romantic relationship in real life, split after pictures of Kristen kissing her Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders emerged

Talented: The British heartthrob, who is about to seduce millions in his new role in The Lost City of Z alongside Charlie Hunnam and Sienna Miller, did admit a new movie would be a hard task considering the franchise already covered the full extended plotline of Meyers' books

The British heartthrob, who is about to seduce millions in his new role in The Lost City of Z alongside Charlie Hunnam and Sienna Miller, did admit a new movie would be a hard task considering the franchise already covered the full extended plotline of Meyers' books.

A reunion also seems less likely considering his on-screen love's less than positive responses to questions about another film.

When asked recently if she would be up for a return to being Bella, the 27-year-old star told the Press Association: 'We kind of finished the series. We made five movies. I think we kind of did it justice.'

The stunning brunette may be less keen to return to work with her chiselled co-star after their relationship fell apart back in 2012.

The pair, who had enjoyed a much-documented romance, split after evidence of Kristen cheating on Robert with her Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders emerged.

And although he is not opposed to returning to the intense limelight of his Twilight days, Robert - who is now engaged to British singer FKA Twigs - explained how his life is 'totally different now' that he is doing more indie movies and taking non-'leading man' parts.

He said: 'It's definitely calmed down in terms of my everyday life, but mainly because I spend more time in London, which is totally different.

'And I'm doing more parts that just sort of interest me, while in a lot of ways taking a little bit of a step back just to learn and get better.'

The rumours began after Patrick Wachsberger, Lionsgate Studio's co-chief, previously claimed that the vampire drama could continue even though the last film, Breaking Dawn, Part 2, neatly wrapped up Bella and Edward's story.

He told Screen Daily: 'It's a possibility. Not a certainty, but it's a possibility.'
