Robert Pattinson hoping for fans to forget 'Twilight' after 'Batman'

Robert Pattinson has been cast as Batman, one of the most anticipated movies coming out and as he gears up for the avatar, the actor is hoping his fans would stop reminiscing Twilight’s Edward Cullen and look forward to his new roles.

The 33-year-old actor, famous for his lead role in the vampire drama, surprised his fans with the announcement that he will now be starring in a huge action-thriller film. However, he is still fretting about  whether fans will be able to accept his new avatar. 

"There's a part of me that just thinks it's impossible to be what happened with Twilight because it was so sudden. I'm hoping it won't be people hanging out outside my place. I just think I'm kind of boring and old now," Pattinson expressed, talking about his upcoming venture to Sunday Today with Willie Geist.

Previously, he told Guardian that, "I definitely feel like I need to prove something and I'm not entirely sure what it is, so that's probably what my turmoil is."

 The Matt Reeves-directorial is scheduled for release in 2021. Divergent actor, Zoe Kravitz will also be starring in the film.
