New details are beginning to emerge of what the casting process for Robert Pattinson, and it seems as though it was a fairly quick one.<\/p>\n

According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, Matt Reeves had written his script for a thirty-something actor. Early in The Batman <\/em>production process, he began to keep Robert Pattinson in mind, never knowing if the actor was even interested in the role. He was taken with the actor\u2019s turns in Good Time<\/em><\/a> and High Life<\/em><\/a>, especially.<\/p>\n

As production moved forward and it became time to get serious about casting, Reeves became interested in Nicholas Hoult as well following his appearance in the Academy Award-winning The Favourite<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In April Reeves and Warner Bros. executives\u00a0met with both Pattinson and Hoult and decided that deals would be put in place for both before costume\u00a0and screen tests were carried out. Following Pattinson\u2019s appearance at the Cannes film festival<\/a>, he flew back to California, \u00a0and both he and Hoult carried out their screen tests prior to the Memorial Day holiday.<\/p>\n

Both actors did don a Batman costume from a previous film, but it has not been revealed which it was. Sources told THR that Reeves tested them to see how their eyes looked in the cowl, if they had the \u201cspecialness he wanted,\u201d and so on. \u201c(Reeves) wanted very specific things,\u201d said one insider. \u201cHe knew what he was looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

The calls to both actors were reportedly made on Thursday, May 30, and the deal was done. \u201cIt was quick,\u201d one Warners insider said. \u201cQuicker than normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pattinson will now move on to training and suit fitting with filming set to begin in early 2020.<\/p>\n

The Batman<\/em> is due to hit theaters on June 5, 2021.<\/p>\n
