DC's 'The Batman' Sequel Officially Replaces Matt Reeves

2026 has been another banner year for Robert Pattinson, who is in line to earn the first Oscar nomination of his career. It’s just unclear at the time which role will be recognized. Pattinson began the year by starring opposite Zendaya in the A24-backed rom-com, The Drama, which is streaming on HBO Max. The duo reunited earlier in the summer for The Odyssey, the box office smash-hit historical epic from director Christopher Nolan, and they’ll reunite later this year in Dune: Part Three, which hails from director Denis Villeneuve. In between The Odyssey and Dune: Part Three, Pattinson can be seen in theaters taking on one of the most complicated roles of his career, Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC. He stars as the TV figure in the new movie, Primetime, which is now playing in theaters.
