Dylan O'Brien being absent wasn't a surprise: after all, we all had known for months he wasn't coming back. Here's what Teen Wolf cast had to say about Stiles' not being in the revival movie in E! Insider interview.

The Teen Wolf movie is finally here, but fans of the show may be wondering where one of their favorite characters, Dylan O'Brien's Stiles, is. Well, according to Tyler Posey, who plays Scott on the show, it's a little bit of a mystery.

In a recent interview, Posey said, "I love Dylan so much, and we talked about it a lot before we actually got started on the movie. To me, he was always there. He would text me and ask how the day went, how was the first day of filming? And to Scott, I think he and Styles keep in touch constantly, so he was still there in the world. And we kept the Jeep in there, and we tried to reference him as much as possible."

According to Posey, there's "no love lost," and any rumors about behind-the-scene feud are just that – rumors.

"Ideally, in a perfect scenario, we would all have been back together. But the way that we did it [address Stiles' absence]… I think it was handled really well," Posey added.

Holland Roden, who plays Lydia on the show, also weighed in on the absence of Stiles in the movie. She said,

"Styles was such a big part of the show. I love that Jeff addresses that, and it did feel like a legitimate reason to me of why they're not together anymore, and it's a really sad reason. But that bittersweet combo I think is going to have the fans reeling a little bit because it had me reeling."

So, it seems that the cast of Teen Wolf is still close with Dylan O'Brien, and his absence in the movie was not taken lightly. However, it seems that the show's creator, Jeff Davis, has found a way to address Stiles' absence in a way that feels true to the show and the characters. While fans may be disappointed that Stiles isn't in the movie, it's clear that the cast and crew have put a lot of thought and care into how his absence is handled. But let's be real, no matter how they try to fill the void, there's no replacing the one and only, Stiles Stilinski.
