Robert Pattinson reacts to the delays in filming The Batman 2. From the looks of it, he seems as frustrated as his fans.
Pattinson recently had a conversation with his Mickey 17 co-star, Naomie Ackie, for the Hero Magazine. Ackie has previously led Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut Blink Twice and has starred in Netflix's The End of the F...ing World. She will soon share the screen with Pattinson in director Bong Joon-ho's latest film. So, the two had an extended conversation about their working experience with the Parasite director.
During this dialogue, Ackie asks Pattinson about Batman and the plans for The Batman 2.
"It’s amazing. And obviously, you’re Batman – are you going to do Batman again soon?"
Robert Pattinson responds by saying,
"I fu**ing hope so. I started out as young Batman and I’m going to be fu**ing old Batman by the sequel."
The 38-year-old actor feels that he will be "too old" by the time the project goes on floors. His reaction reflects what his fans feel about the insistent delays in the sequel's plans.
