Robert Pattinson is used to feeling the pressure.
As the actor films the upcoming The Batman, in which he takes over as the masked crusader, Pattinson told Total Film Magazine that he knows what it's like to take on a project with loads of anticipation attached.
″There's a slightly different feeling when you know loads and loads of people are going to watch something you're working on, "he said, according toNME. ″I weirdly enjoyed it during Twilight, the idea that you can mess it up. I guess I felt confident. I wanted to be on the big stage."
The film stars Pattinson, 34, as Bruce Wayne, aka the Batman, in the character’s early years as a detective and vigilante. Paul Dano, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, John Turturro star as well, with Zoë Kravitz rounding out the cast as Catwoman.
The Batman production recently shut down again when someone on set, later reported to be Pattinson himself, tested positive for COVID-19. The shoot was briefly paused as the quarantine period went into effect and later resumed.
It's the second time production has been forced to shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. Filming previously stopped back in March as the U.K., where the film is being shot, went into a strict lockdown to combat the spread of the virus.
