Batman 2 delayed: Where will we see Robert Pattinson before he returns to DC?

On March 2, 2022, Batman was released in theaters. And to date, this is the last film with Robert Pattinson, who has been away from the set due to paternity and delayed releases. But he has no shortage of projects and should be back in cinemas with at least one feature film, if not two, this year.

Let’s look forward to the English actor’s future as TF1 airs The Batman this Sunday, January 26.

Mickey 17

Robert Pattinson in Bong Joon-Ho, the award-winning and Oscar-winning director of Parasite, was all set to be one of the highlights of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. But no, because this sci-fi movie is adapted from Edward’s novel. Ashton was due to make its debut at the end of March, but before that it was pushed back to January 29, 2025, bringing new hope to fans of the Croisette.

But again, no: Mick 17 was not in the selection made by Thierry Fremaux and his teams, which suggested a visit to Venice. That didn’t happen, and eventually a few lucky people in Berlin discover this sci-fi story in which a man sent to colonize a frozen planet finds his memories implanted in a new body with each death.

which should happen more often than in the original novel, “Mickey 7”As Bong Joon-ho recently explained, with a laugh, to justify this title change. The mystery film also stars Toni Collette, Steven Yeun, Naomie Aki and Mark Ruffalo. One of the most anticipated of 2025, the release of which finally took place between April 18 and March 5.

die my love

If he misses Cannes with Bong Joon-ho, Robert Pattinson will return with Lynn Ramsay, a Croisette regular who won 2017 for Joaquin Phoenix’s A Beautiful Day, Screenplay and Actor. Inspired by Ariana Harwich’s novel, Die, My. Love tells the story of a mother (Jennifer Lawrence) who struggles to maintain her sanity during psychosis in an isolated and forgotten rural area.

And that’s all we know so far about this horror-comedy, which is inevitably very engaging because it seems to cling to the director’s obsession with letting his two leads deliver intense performances. A release date is currently unknown and will no doubt depend on a possible run at Cannes (or Venice) and a potential position at the 2026 Oscars.

drama

Another contender for the Cannes selection, another glamorous and talented couple. The drama will star Robert Pattinson opposite Zendaya, and the two actors will create a couple whose love story takes a drastic turn as their wedding day approaches. how We don’t know yet, but we should expect the unexpected with director Christopher Borgley, to whom we owe the strange and crazy Sick of Myself and, above all, the dream scenario in which Nicolas Cage haunted the dreams of people he doesn’t care about. I don’t know.

Mamoudou Athie (Kinds of Kindness) and Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza) are also in the cast of this intriguing film, which is currently in post-production and whose few set photos that have been released online have yet to reveal the secret. But it’s better to be surprised. Cannes or Venice too.

odyssey

From the world of Christopher Borg to Christopher Nolan, it’s clearly only one step for Robert Pattinson and Zendaya to find themselves in the casting of this adaptation. “Odyssey” By Director Oppenheimer. It will be a reunion for the actor with his compatriot, who directed him on Tenet, and a major first for the actor, whose role is currently rumored to be quite reduced.

It also goes without saying that Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will cross paths on screen in this film, which hits our theaters on July 15, 2026 and is inspired by Homer’s classic, which tells the story of Odysseus’ long-awaited return. Trojan War. On paper, this choice may be surprising, but Christopher Nolan often follows characters trying to return home after abandoning their families (in Inception or Interstellar in particular). “Odyssey” It makes sense. but how

Will he create a purely historical epic, complete with togas and sandals, or a modern (even futuristic) version? We don’t know yet, although filming will begin soon, and the actors’ roles have not been officially announced. If everything initially convinced us that Matt Damon would play Ulysses, today they say that the main role will be played by Tom Holland, who many saw as Telemachus.

Whatever happens, Odyssey will definitely be one of the events of the 2026 film year (and not just summer). The main show, filmed entirely on state-of-the-art IMAX cameras, from February to August, with a cast that includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Jon Bernthal and, respectively, Robert Pattinson.

Batman II

With Mickey 17 being pushed back to 2025, many viewers consoled themselves by saying that they would get two films with Robert Pattinson that year, with Batman II slated for October. And finally no. Although the rumor talked about a script that was not yet finished, but was scheduled to start shooting in August 2024, the Matt Reeves film was first pushed back to a September 30, 2026 release in French cinemas. Then on September 29, 2027, its authors were given time to refine the script.

Who are the bad guys facing Robert Pattinson?

However, according to the director, filming should begin in 2025, which means that we will have the right to real information soon. Especially the antagonists. If Colin Farrell has what it takes to return to Gotham as the Penguin, after a series dedicated to him (and whose first season ends a few days before the story begins. Batman II), the show didn’t give us any real insight into Bat-Man’s future adversaries.

Meanwhile, Barry Keoghan has also hinted that his Joker will return (for a brief appearance?), while James Gunn has dismissed rumors of a villain. So you’ll have to be patient and watch for the BatSignal to appear in the sky.
