There is no denying that Robert Pattinson is still considered as one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood after the success of his many-to-mention films. Fans saw the 32-year-old English actor in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but his star shined brighter when he took the role as a blood-sucking vampire named Edward Cullen in the Twilight series. Now, recent reports suggest that the former beau of Kristen Stewart might land another significant role.
Reports about Robert Pattinson being the new Batman sparked after Ben Affleck announced that he would no longer be wearing the black suit. The estranged husband of Jennifer Garner stepped down from the much-coveted role by simply sharing an article about him passing the torch to the next generation of Bruce Wayne. "Excited for #TheBatman in Summer 2021 and to see @MattReevesLA vision come to life," the 46-year-old American actor-filmmaker said on a tweet.
The news spread so fast that some fans already predicted who could replace Ben Affleck. Along with Outlander actor Sam Heughan, Robert Pattinson has been one of the most uttered names to take over the role. But, is Kristen Stewart's ex-boyfriend a good fit?
Obviously, the answer is yes. With his oozing sex appeal, his exemplary acting prowess, and to-die-for hunky built, Robert Pattinson, surely, is deserving to take up the cowl and cape. However, a Forbes article suggested that, while the Twilight actor is a good choice, everything should be taken with a grain of salt because these speculations are just entirely fan-made. The same post hinted that the management possibly had a replacement already since the movie with start production earlier than what fans expected.
Meanwhile, many fans went berserk after it was learned that Twilight main stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner had a mini-reunion sans Robert Pattinson. Seventeen shared that the 28-year-old American actress graced the surprise birthday bash for Taylor Swift's former boyfriend last week.
As a matter of fact, Kristen was spotted enjoying the night with Taylor. A photo of Robert Pattinson's former co-stars was even shared on Instagram by celebrity hairstylist CJ Romero. "Damn K looks sexy. T is a pretty little liar. And I look like I'm ready for bed. #hbd @taylorlautner and mom in the back @lilykershaw" Romero wrote in the caption.
Last year, Kristen Stewart and FKA Twig's ex-lover were allegedly seen at a bar together. However, neither of the two confirmed the rumor. Stay tuned to Business Times China for the latest news and updates about Robert Pattinson.
