‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson rumored to be next Batman in upcoming film
(WISH) — Could Robert Pattinson be the next Batman? That’s a rumor swirling around Hollywood after “Variety” reported the actor is close to sealing the deal to star in the upcoming film “The Batman.”
Pattinson is most famous for playing Edward Cullen, the pasty vampire in the “Twilight” films.
Some fans are already upset about the casting and have even started a petition to cast someone else.
“This is exactly why Marvel is better in every way,” tweeted one person online.
Other fans are urging moviegoers to give the actor a chance, saying Heath Ledger’s casting as the Joker in “The Dark Night” was just as controversial.
The upcoming film is scheduled to hit thaters in June 2021.
