Robert Pattinson or Nicholas Hoult will take on an iconic new role!

The 33-year-old Twilight actor and the 29-year-old Tolkien star are on the short list to play Batman in the upcoming superhero film The Batman, according to Deadline on Thursday (May 16).

The Matt Reeves-directed film hits theaters on June 25, 2021. Pre-production is expected to start this summer. A final version of the script is still being drafted, according to the report.

Filming “could start in late 2019 or early 2020.”

The news follows Ben Affleck‘s decision to leave the character behind after initially signing on to star, write and direct.

“We worked on the script, I was trying to figure out how to crack it, and I was never happy enough with it where I thought it was worth going out and making it because I just didn’t want to do a version that I wasn’t really excited by, so I still don’t know,” he said recently of exiting the project.

Nicholas Hoult and Lily Collins made a joint appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday night (May 2) in New York City.

The co-stars dished all about their new film Tolkien, which explores the formative years of the renowned author’s life as he finds friendship, courage and inspiration among a fellow group of writers and artists at school. Their brotherhood strengthens as they grow up and weather love and loss together, including Tolkien’s tumultuous courtship of his beloved Edith Bratt (Collins), until the outbreak of the First World War which threatens to tear their fellowship apart. All of these experiences would later inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-earth novels.
