No Multiverse Portal for Robert Pattinson

 

Contrary to speculation, there is no multiverse portal opening that would transition Robert Pattinson into the DC Universe (DCU).

James Gunn Addresses Casting Rumors

 

Despite rumors suggesting that the star of The Batman might take the lead in the upcoming DC Studios film The Brave and the Bold, studio co-head James Gunn dismissed these ideas during a press event on Friday.

Gunn’s Response to Sharing Pattinson

 

When questioned by The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility of “sharing” Pattinson with director Matt Reeves, Gunn expressed his discontent with the term. He clarified that there have been no serious discussions regarding Pattinson continuing his role in the broader DCU.

Reeves’ Ambiguous Comments

 

This clarification follows a notable interview at the Golden Globes in January, where director Reeves was asked about the potential inclusion of Pattinson in the DC Universe. Instead of outright denying the rumors, he deflected, stating, “I don’t know. We’ll have to see where that goes.”

The Batman’s Success and Future

 

The Batman introduced Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne to audiences in March 2022, achieving a remarkable box office of $722 million. Typically, such success would lead to a sequel being fast-tracked. However, Reeves is known for his meticulous approach to filmmaking, preferring to take his time.

Updates on The Batman Part II

 

“He has yet to submit a full script, but what we have seen so far is incredibly promising,” stated DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran on Friday. The Batman Part II has faced multiple delays and is currently slated for a fall 2027 release. If this timeline holds, it will result in a five-and-a-half-year gap between films. Notably, this film and the The Penguin TV spinoff exist in a separate universe from the main DCU.

Development of The Brave and the Bold

 

Concurrently, DC Studios is developing The Brave and the Bold, which focuses on Batman and his son, Damian Wayne. Although Andy Muschietti was initially announced as the director and producer, he appears to no longer be actively involved in the project.

Gunn Takes Charge of Development

 

“We’re currently developing the script for The Brave and the Bold, and he’ll be the first to see it,” Safran mentioned, referring to Muschietti while hinting at his lack of involvement in the project’s development. Gunn further emphasized his commitment, stating, “Everybody knows I love Batman, and it’s important to me, so I’m working very closely with the writer on Brave and the Bold.” The writer’s identity remains undisclosed.

Future of The Penguin TV Series

 

Regarding television, the critically acclaimed series The Penguin, featuring Colin Farrell, may not receive a second season. Safran candidly remarked, “We don’t know. There are a lot of moving pieces, probably most importantly Colin himself. And 800 pounds of makeup.”
