Robert Pattinson has been finding it difficult to keep up with all the action for The Batman: Part II due to his advancing age. Pattinson is currently on a roll with The Drama and The Odyssey being modest to big hits, and the actor is getting all sorts of praise for his acting performances in them. His upcoming venture, Primetime, has also got fans hooked with his Chris Hansen portrayal, the glimpses of which they saw in the teaser released for the film.

But these are nothing compared to the hype for his return as the Caped Crusader. 

While it will be only his second film as Gotham’s Dark Knight, Robert Pattinson has already started feeling his age.

Robert Pattinson has talked candidly about the physical challenges of filming The Batman: Part II in a recent interview with GQ, acknowledging that it is harder than ever to perform the film's violent action scenes. Pattinson made a joke about feeling his age while filming the action scenes when asked about his experience working on the eagerly awaited sequel.

"I'm definitely feeling my age when fighting a lot," the actor said.

"Goddamn, this is significantly more difficult than it used to be," Pattinson added.

Discussing his return to the cape and cowl for the upcoming sequel with GQ, Pattinson expressed genuine excitement about stepping back into the role of Bruce Wayne while offering a candid look at the physical demands of the production. The actor noted that performing heavy stunt work is noticeably more challenging than it was during the first film, admitting that he feels his age while filming action sequences.

Despite the physical toll, Robert Pattinson described the overall experience as deeply rewarding and praised the sequel's ensemble, characterizing the production as a true "marathon." He added that he believes the finished film is shaping up to be exceptional. The actor’s comments indicate the hard work that is going into the sequel, and this definitely raises expectations for the film.

Fact Check: Is Noah Schnapp Playing Robin in 'The Batman: Part II?'

As much anticipation surrounds the movie, so do rumors. One of them recently claimed that Sebastian Stan is set to play Harvey Dent in The Batman sequel.

It was reported last month that Sebastian Stan has allegedly confirmed his casting as Harvey Dent in an interview with the French publication Le Journal du Dimanche. Fans speculated that Stan had confirmed his participation in The Batman: Part II and, more crucially, his role as the news swiftly spread online.

But sadly, the actor himself confirmed that he was misquoted by the French outlet. According to TheWrap, the French site has since updated and fixed the web article's error. Due to the actor's apparent denial of the story, fans will probably have to resume their guessing game. The mystery will only be solved when the trailer for The Batman: Part II drops, but that might take some time as the movie is still in production.
