The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) never stops expanding, and it seems that Marvel boss Kevin Feige has his sights on scooping up a certain caped crusader. Robert Pattinson, DC’s Batman might just be making the big move over to the world of Marvel.
While Pattinson is already cast to resume his role as Gotham’s brooding hero in Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman‘ sequel, the news is boiling as industry insider Daniel Richtman claims that the Twilight-turned-Batman star recently met with Feige for a closed-door meeting where the actor was offered a role in the franchise. Here’s all we know about it.
What Does Robert Pattinson’s Rumored Meeting With Kevin Feige Entail?
Although the news of Robert Pattinson being offered a Marvel role during a closed-door meeting with Kevin Feige has not been officially announced, fans have already started imagining the Marvel dreamscapes for Pattinson’s character.
Pattinson’s acting range is undeniable. While his fame skyrocketed after he played the sparkly vampire Edward Cullen in the ‘Twilight‘ series, he has subsequently proven his acting skills in other movies, including ‘The Lighthouse‘, ‘Good Time‘, and even ‘Tenet‘.
Considering a mysterious project with Christopher Nolan already in his schedule, it looks like Pattinson is game to broaden his horizons even more — and stepping into the MCU would definitely be a bold new adventure.

As the rumor mill continues churning, fans have started believing that Pattinson would play the perfect role for some of Marvel’s most famous characters. With the knack for playing complex and emotionally driven characters, fans clearly have good reasons to be excited about this potential casting choice.
Fans Are Buzzing With The Possible Marvel Roles Robert Pattinson Will Take On
Among the top suggestions is Cyclops – the laser-eyed X-Men leader. Some other fans speculate that MCU might also make room for Pattinson to take the role of Scott Summers, known for his internal struggles and high-pressure leadership.
Owen Reece, more commonly known as Molecule Man, is another very interesting possibility. One of Marvel’s most powerful and underrated villains, Reece can manipulate matter at the molecular level. This would be a bold step given the contrast from anything Pattinson has been seen in. But because of his ability to delve deeply into the darker and twisted characters, it would be an intriguing match.

Only time will tell if Robert Pattinson is going to make the jump from Gotham to the Marvel universe; but should this have actually occurred, we could be beholding one of the most thrilling castings in recent Marvel history. For now, the decision lies with Feige and his master plan for MCU.
