SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Reports are surfacing that Robert Pattinson is the top choice to play Batman.
Variety on Thursday reported that Pattinson, who is probably most known for his role as Edward in the “Twilight” movies, is at the top of the list for Warner Bros.’ “The Batman,” premiering in the summer of 2021.
However, a Warner Bros. representative told CNN,“We do not have a deal,” and some websites are walking back earlier reports that declared Pattinson the winner.
Nicholas Hoult, who plays Beast in the latest iterations of the “X-Men” films, is also allegedly in the running.
