Being the face of many successful films and franchises in the past, English film star Robert Pattinson is popular for his performances being naturally stunning and flawless. With his skills presented in theTwilight Sagafranchise, audiences came to know of the handsome, charming, and truly blessed entertainer of the industry. Along the way, he has also been part of some of the greatest solo films amongst cine-goers.
Apart from his past glories in the world of cinema, the star has also become the talk of the town with his portrayal of Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ DC filmThe Batman,which shows him donning the cape of the bat vigilante that roams the streets of Gotham in the dead of the night. Although the success of the film was astronomical, and so was the praise from critics and audiences, it’s hard to imagine that Pattinson was reluctant to join any superhero franchises in the past.
Robert Pattinson Didn’t Want To Do Any Superhero Movies In The Past!
With an estimated box office collection of $750 Million,The Batmanproved thatRobert Pattinsonwasn’t only meant to play a pretty boy in another romance drama series. The depiction of the harbinger of justice in Matt Reeves’ film showcased Bruce Wayne as not another billionaire playboy, but as a broken man who wanted nothing but to wreak havoc on the faces of evil and bring heinous criminals down, handing out righteous justice.
But the success of the film and the praise of the audience would never have become a reality if theTenetstar wouldn’t reconsider his decisions. During an interview onThe Howard Stern Showin 2017, Pattinson revealed that he didn’t want to become part of a superhero film franchise because usually, the contracts to play these characters are way too extensive and commitment-heavy, something which the actor wasn’t really keen on doing at the time.
Along with the aforementioned reasons, Pattinson was also reluctant to become a superhero at the time because he wanted to play a character that he genuinely wanted to play and was excited to prepare for, something that was missing at that time. But once he learned about Matt Reeves’ take on the character of Bruce Wayne/Batman, he wanted more than ever to become the superhero himself inThe Batman.
What’s Next ForThe Batman?
With the smashing success ofThe Batmanat the box office and in the praises of the audience and critics, James Gunn has taken notice of this phenomenon and has subsequently made plans to cash in on the opportunity. Information coming from different sources on the internet point to the direction of Pattinson becoming the focus of the new DCU under Gunn’s leadership, and many fans are getting excited about this possibility. As for the sequel of the film, many key visuals have been put out that indicate the franchise will prosper in the new age of DC Films.
