Kristen Stewart is making the most of life post-Twilight.

The Breaking Dawn star is set to star with Ben Affleck in the upcoming, sexy comedy Focus, according to the Huffington Post

"I can confirm that rumor," Stewart told the site, regarding the project. "It's a comedy. I'm really excited about it. We start shooting in April."

After rumors surfaced that K.Stew was in talks to star in the film as a young woman that Affleck's character meets during his travels, we asked the Oscar winner to dish on the possible casting news last month. 

"I'm hesitant to get into casting stuff because I don't know what's finished or isn't because people come in and out of things all the time," Affleck told E! News at the GQ Men of the Year party. "But she's terrific and hopefully it will work out."

Looks like Affleck got his wish.
