An EW source said director Bill Condon might use digital effects like those seen in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" to age the actress. During the last installment of "The Twilight Saga," Renesmee grows to the age of 17 in only seven years.

Mackenzie has previously appeared on the small screen in one episode each of "FlashForward" and "'Til Death."
