Dark, brooding and handsome, Robert Pattinson is no stranger to playing the supernatural part.
Now, sources say the Twilight actor is in talks to star as the next Batman in Matt Reeves upcoming movie. Here's everything we know about the heart-throb actor.
Will Robert Pattinson be the new Batman?
According to Variety, Robert Pattinson is said to be the top choice to play Batman. Although it is not a done deal, negotiations are expected to close shortly
If the rumours are true, 33-year-old Robert will become the second-youngest actor to ever play Batman after Christian Bale, who was 31 when "Batman Begins" premiered in 2005.
The movie will be directed by Matt Reeves, the filmmaker behind the last two Planet of the Apes sequels, alongside collaborator Dylan Clarke.
A report in Deadline said that Nicholas Hoult was also in the running, so eager fans will have to wait to see which man comes out on top.
Who is Robert Pattinson dating?
Robert Pattinson is notoriously secretive about his love life. Since July, he has been linked to British model and actress Suki Waterhouse when they were spotted kissing in the street after a Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again movie date in London.
In early August, a source clarified to E! that the two were just "casually dating" then. Since, the pair have recently been spotted together celebrating Robert's 33rd Birthday in LA.
In Sept. 2014, Robert Pattinson started dating singer FKA twigs. They became engaged in early 2015 and stayed together for more than two years before splitting up in summer 2017
Robert dated twilight co-star Kirsten Stewart from 2009-2013, but their relationship was far from simple after pictures of Kristen kissing the director of her film “Snow White and the Huntsman” hit the Internet in July 2012. When asked by another publication if he is still friends with his ex, he muttered "yes, yes."
How old was he in Twilight?
Robert was 22 when he first landed the role of brooding Vampire Edward Cullen in the movie Twilight, based on the novels by Stephanie Meyer.
The film was released on November, 1 2011, catapulting the young Robert into the limelight almost overnight.
In the past, Robert has spoken out about not enjoying acting in the role. It reportedly got so bad on set that Robert's agent personally flew down and told him: "You have to do the opposite of what you’re doing now or you’re going to get fired today."
Prior to that, Robert played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
