Robert Pattinson is worried he’ll be too old to star in “The Batman Part II.”
The actor, 38, played Bruce Wayne in the 2022 flick “The Batman” under director Matt Reeves and was set to reprise as The Caped Crusader in the sequel; however, undisclosed issues have pushed the original release date back years.
“The Batman Part II” was originally slated for an October 2025 release, reported Collider, but was moved aside before landing the newest date of October 1, 2027, with the sequel not even in production yet.
Pattinson recently weighed in on the drama during an interview with Hero magazine, sharing he’s concerned he’ll be too “f—king old” to be Batman by the time they start shooting.
When asked, “Are you going to do Batman again soon?” the actor responded, “I f–king hope so. I started out as young Batman and I’m going to be f–king old Batman by the sequel.”
He followed his response up by saying, “I’m 38, I’m old.”
Pattinson started filming “The Batman” in January 2020 while in his mid-30s. He will now be well into his late thirties when shooting “Part II.”
Despite his age, Pattinson shared he’s the healthiest he’s ever been.
“I’m old, but I’m healthier. I think I’ve actually brought my biological age down a bit,” he told the magazine.
The “Twilight” franchise star’s good health might be due to his strict diet, which he spoke about during the interview.
“If I’m doing a job I can’t ever eat anything, even seasoning, I can’t have pepper. I ate nothing but salmon and avocado for like five months. It actually made my memory better,” Pattinson shared.
He also talked about his “Mickey 17” director, Bong Joon-ho. The pair’s sci-fi comedy hits theaters on Friday, March 7.
Revealing there was a lot of build-up about working with the four-time Oscar-winning “Parasite” filmmaker, Pattinson shared, “It was one of the most fun jobs I’ve ever had.”
“He radiates this aura, you kind of feel like you’re on a small dose of mushrooms,” he said, referencing Joon-ho. “You’re like, ‘Doo, doo, doo.’”
In the flick, Pattinson plays Mickey Barnes, a disposable employee sent on a human expedition to an ice world called Niflheim who repeatedly dies after failing dangerous missions. When that happens, he is reprinted, and his memories are uploaded to a brand-new body before he’s sent on another challenge.
While Pattinson loved portraying the character, not everyone is on board with the out-of-the-box movie.
“It’s far from terrible and a pleasure to look at. But, perhaps inevitably, after such a raging success, Bong’s latest movie is a disappointment,” The Post’s film critic, Johnny Oleksinski, wrote of Joon-ho’s latest project.
“The familiar satire hangs on a great premise, though: a futuristic society that depends on sacrificial clones,” he added. “That warped idea is a fitting canvas for Bong’s usual themes and messages — class disparity, capitalism, environmentalism — only they’re held together with bubblegum. Massive in scope, this rather long sit overindulges and underwhelms.”
