Robert Pattinson is arguably some of the proficient actors working in Hollywood at present, and he retains lining up huge gigs involving main expertise. Only in the near past, the British actor landed an enormous gig, as he’s been tapped for a job in Christopher Nolan’s subsequent film. That’s an thrilling prospect, however it additionally raises a query about work on one in all Pattinson’s different upcoming titles – the anticipated The Batman Half II. Now, we’ve the newest on the place work on the superhero film stands after Pattinson’s newest casting.
It was reported by THR this previous week that the Good Time star could be reteaming with Christopher Nolan following their collaboration in 2020’s Tenet. As of proper now, particulars on the actor’s position – in addition to the movie’s total plot and style – are being saved tightly below wraps. What is thought is that the film will movie in early 2025 and hit theaters in the course of the summer season of 2026. Since Common Footage slotted the movie in that place, it’ll be launched just some months forward of the Lighthouse alum’s aforementioned upcoming Caped Crusader flick.
As of proper now, Matt Reeves’ The Batman Half II is about to open in cinemas in October 2026, and it was beforehand reported that the manufacturing would start filming across the spring of 2025. That’s awfully near the beginning date for the Nolan-helmed movie. So what does that imply for the Bat flick now? Nicely, THR’s Borys Equipment alleges that Robert Pattinson is, in fact, nonetheless connected to Reeves sequel and that there’s nonetheless hope that the movie will likely be shot subsequent yr. Nevertheless, plans supposedly aren’t near being solidified.
Now, if these had been two smaller movies, then this wouldn’t precisely be an issue, provided that their shoots could be shorter. Contemplating that these are sure to be formidable cinematic undertakings, there’s the likelihood that they may overlap production-wise. We positively don’t know for positive if that would be the case, however it’s one thing to consider. As somebody who’s been desperate to see the subsequent installment within the Batman saga, that’s considerably worrying for me, particularly for the reason that movie was already delayed because of the Hollywood strikes in 2023.
Story particulars on Matt Reeves’ big-screen subsequent foray into Gotham Metropolis are being saved below lock and key (doubtless in a Batcave someplace). Most just lately, following HBO’s The Penguin collection, many have been speculating in regards to the “bat-crumbs” which have been laid out for the upcoming movie. Hypothesis is more likely to proceed operating rampant till Reeves sheds gentle on extra specifics on the forthcoming flick, and I’m so prepared for that.
Don’t get it twisted, although, as I’m additionally pumped to see Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning historic drama, Oppenheimer. Along with directing, Nolan can be writing the script and producing the film below his Syncopy banner. Thus far, the movie has amassed a stacked solid, which incorporates the likes of Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o and Anne Hathaway. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Holland, Damon, Hathaway and Robert Pattinson are set to play the first leads.
On the subject of Robert Pattinson’s schedule, it must also be talked about that he’s most just lately been filming the upcoming A24 film The Drama alongside Zendaya. He additionally just lately teamed up with Jennifer Lawrence for Die, My Love. So it’s truthful to say that there’s a variety of Pattinson-centric work on the best way, which is nice for audiences. I’m simply hopeful that within the aftermath of his newest gig, the Bat follow-up isn’t pushed again once more.
The Batman Half II is about to open in theaters on October 2, 2026, whereas Christopher Nolan’s film opens that very same yr on July 17. Extra instantly, Pattinson followers can take a look at the actor in his subsequent film, Mickey 17, which hits cinemas on April 18 as a part of the 2025 film schedule.
