MANILA, Philippines — After his iconic roles as Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter” and as the vampire Edward Cullen in “Twilight,” British actor Robert Pattinson is being pushed by Twitter users to become the next Batman. The studio outfit is reportedly in negotiations with Pattinson after Ben Affleck left the role in 2017. Apart from Pattinson, “Tolkien” and “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” star Nicholas Hoult is also assumingly being considered for the part. If Pattinson would be cast, the 32-year-old actor would become the youngest to play the DC Comics superhero on the silver screen. An exhausted Pattinson described how he remonstrated with the film’s director, Robert Eggers, after he had to do one take five times on a freezing Nova Scotia beach.
