Robert Pattinson Says ‘It’s Quite Strange’ Having Male Fans Now: ‘There’s Like a Bunch of Guys, Which Is a New One for Me’


Robert Pattinson is shocked to have male fans after "The Batman" considering his start in the "The Twilight Saga."

Robert Pattinson told Associated Press journalist Sian Watson on the “Mickey 17” red carpet that it’s “quite strange” to have a fanbase that is now dominated by men, which is likely due to his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman in Matt Reeves’ beloved 2022 comic book tentpole “ The Batman.” A sequel is set to go into production later this year. Pattinson started his career with a mostly female-dominated fanbase thanks to his role as the vampire Edward Cullen in “The Twilight Saga,” which spanned five movies from 2008 to 2012 that grossed a combined $3.3 billion at the worldwide box office. “The Twilight Saga” gave Pattinson a legion of female fans, but now he’s got men in his corner after “The Batman.” The actor’s first turn as the Dark Knight earned critical acclaim and a strong $772 million at the worldwide box office.
