Robert Pattinson recently spoke to GQ magazine as part of the publication’s summer cover story on “The Odyssey” and revealed he had a home gym installed in order to pack on muscle ahead of filming “The Batman: Part II.” The actor was doubling down on his fitness schedule after some viewers of 2022’s “The Batman” found his superhero physique underwhelming.
“[Everyone was like], ‘You didn’t work out at all.’ I worked out every fucking day,” Pattinson quipped. “Even after that, I still look like I didn’t work out. I worked out twice a day at, like, three o’clock in the morning. I’m like, It’s just because I said it in an interview [once that exercise was uncool]. I was trying to sound cool!”
Pattinson is returning to the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in director Matt Reeves’ long-awaited sequel, which will also star the likes of Sebastian Stan and Scarlett Johansson. The filmmaker teased last month that production on “The Batman: Part II” was imminent by posting a first look photo of the Batmobile racing down a snowy street. Not that Pattinson knew any details of the sequel’s filming schedule when he spoke to GQ.
“I just heard from the stunt guy the other day. He said, ‘Ooh, 11 weeks of nights.’ I’m like, ‘Excuse me?’ I’m like, ‘No one’s even sent me a schedule,’” Pattinson said.
