Robert Pattinson is reportedly preparing to end his journey as Batman after completing the planned trilogy directed by Matt Reeves. Pattinson first appeared as the iconic DC superhero in 2022’s The Batman, which offered a darker and more grounded interpretation of Bruce Wayne. The film was directed by Reeves and became a major success, paving the way for further chapters in the story. The actor is set to return as Batman in The Batman Part II, which is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on February 18, 2028. A third instalment is also planned, and recent reports indicate that it could mark Pattinson’s final appearance under the cape. In the first film, Batman investigates the murder of Gotham City’s mayor and becomes entangled in a disturbing mystery involving the Riddler, played by Paul Dano. As the investigation develops, Bruce Wayne uncovers links between Gotham’s criminal world, his family’s history and the city’s troubled past. The film concluded with the Riddler being imprisoned at Arkham State Hospital. There, he encounters another inmate whose identity strongly hints at the Joker, played by Barry Keoghan. The character is expected to have a larger presence in the upcoming sequel. The Batman Part II is expected to expand Reeves’ version of Gotham while introducing several returning and new characters. Pattinson will once again lead the cast as Batman, while Jeffrey Wright is expected to return as James Gordon and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth. Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan are also among the names linked to the highly anticipated sequel. If Pattinson exits the role after the third film, his departure would close a major chapter in Reeves’ Batman saga. The planned trilogy is expected to complete the director’s current vision of the character while leaving open the possibility of future stories within DC’s wider universe.

Indian actor Yash has opened up about his wife Radhika Pandit’s reaction to his intimate scenes with actress Kiara Advani in the upcoming action thriller Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. During an appearance on Rajat Sharma’s popular talk show Aap Ki Adalat, Yash acknowledged that the scenes could make his wife uncomfortable. However, the actor said both he and Radhika understand that such moments are part of an actor’s professional responsibilities when they serve the story. Yash, whose real name is Naveen Kumar, explained that he also had to move beyond his own comfort zone while working on the film. According to him, certain scenes may not be easy for actors personally, but they can become necessary when they are important to the character and the overall narrative. The K.G.F. star said he believes every partner could naturally feel uncomfortable seeing their spouse perform intimate scenes with another actor. However, he stressed that acting requires performers to separate their personal relationships from the characters they portray on screen. Yash also pointed out that Radhika is an actress herself and therefore understands the demands and challenges of the profession. He said she may not necessarily be pleased with the scenes, but she trusts him and understands that he is performing as an actor rather than appearing as her husband in those moments. The actor further revealed that Toxic has been designed with younger audiences, particularly Gen Z, in mind. He suggested that the film explores generational differences and issues relevant to young people while presenting them through an action-driven story. Yash and Radhika’s relationship dates back to their time working together on the television show Nanda Gokula in 2007. Their professional association eventually developed into a personal relationship. They became engaged in 2016 and married later that year. The couple have two children, daughter Ayra and son Yatharv. Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups features Yash in a dual role, portraying both a father and his son. Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi are also part of the cast. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the highly anticipated pan-India action thriller is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on August 26, 2026.
