In a recent interview featuring the cast of The Batman held by Fandango, Pattinson expressed his interest in completing a trilogy of films with his iteration of Bruce Wayne. He initially said that he'd be ready to play the character "as many times" as audiences would like to see it but also stressed the importance of getting through the first film's release. He also mentioned that he had spoken to the director about a possible trilogy, stating that it would be "wonderful," as he finds it "such a fun character to play." Check out his quote below:
"I'm down to do it as many times as people want to see it, really. Like I mean I got to get this one out first. But yeah, like, I mean I've talked to Matt about the idea of doing a trilogy and that would be wonderful. I really, really enjoyed the process and it's such a fun character to play. And yeah, that'd be lovely. Lovely."
Justice League, both of which featured the Caped Crusader.
It's quite clear that Spider-Man: No Way Home suggests that an announcement of The Batman 2 is highly likely. The trailers for The Batman promise a glorious return to the big screen for Gotham's defender as Pattinson looks to make the celebrated role his own.
