Robert Pattinson REACTS to rumours of him replacing Ben Affleck in Matt Reeves' Batman
Robert Pattinson, who is promoting his movie The Lighthouse, was asked about the Batman rumours at Cannes 2019. Read below to know what the Twilight (2008) actor has to say.
Robert Pattinson has been in the headlines recently for his name being added to the Batman casting rumours. Earlier names like Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington and Spider-Man: Far From Home star Jake Gyllenhaal were in the mix. But, it looks like Robert is the frontrunner to don the black suit after Ben Affleck. Ben was supposed to star in and direct the next Batman film but ultimately backed down from both responsibilities. Now, Matt Reeves has been roped in to direct the Hollywood flick.
Robert is currently at Cannes Film Festival 2019 to promote and even attended the premiere of The Lighthouse. During the interviews for the film, Indiewire reported that Pattinson was quizzed about playing the Cape Crusader. To this, Robert strictly replied, "I am only answering questions about The Lighthouse." Given the fact that Robert is refusing to confirm or deny the rumours of playing Batman, we can only assume that the Twilight (2008) star could very well be stepping into the shoes of the DC superhero.

Meanwhile, Matt Reeves' Batman will mostly enter the pre-production stage this summer. The filming will reportedly begin by the end of 2019 or early 2020.
Speaking of The Lighthouse, this Robert Eggers film also stars Oscar-nominated actor Willem Dafoe. In the horror film, Robert is seen as Ephraim Winslow and Willem plays Thomas Wake. The Cannes 2019 premiere of The Lighthouse took place on May 19, 2019.
