Who’s to play Bruce Wayne in the next Batman movie seems to be finalised now! After Justice League Batman Ben Affleck reportedly walked out of the Matt Reeves project on the DC comic superhero, many names, including Nicholas Hoult, Armie Hammer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson featured in the list of contenders to play the caped crusader. However, the latest buzz is that Twilight series-fame Robert Pattinson has been approached for the role. The film is set to hit the screens on June 25, 2021.
Earlier, Affleck was supposed to write, direct, and act in the superhero flick, but in January, reports suggested that the makers were looking for a ‘younger Bruce Wayne’. That 33-year-old Robert Pattinson is in talks with the makers hasn’t gone down well with many. According to Variety, negotiations are underway and the deal is expected to be sealed soon.
