The 20-year-old British actor, who will play Volturi leader Caius, told the BBC that he is "very excited" to be involved in the vampire series.
Production on the Chris Weitz-helmed movie is reportedly already underway, with a slated November release date. It is the second adaptation from author Stephenie Meyer's novel series.
Campbell-Bower claimed that he was not previously aware of his character, saying: "I hadn't read the books before. But it's a great thing to be a part of, and it did very well last year."
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will reprise their roles, while 15-year-old Dakota Fanning will take the part of Jane, a member of the Volturi gang with psychic abilities.
Eclipse, the third film in the franchise, has been handed a summer 2010 release.
