From a vampire in the ‘Twilight’ films to the Dark Knight in ‘The Batman,’ for Robert Pattinson, it’s been quite a ride. The charm that this actor adds to his roles is unprecedented, be it as a fantasy character with supernatural powers, an intellectual person with knowledge of entropy, or a dark, brooding figure hanging from the ceiling. His recent filmography proves that he is one of the most underrated top-tier actors in Hollywood.
The recipient of various awards and nominations, notably two People’s Choice Awards, ten MTV Movie Awards, an Australian Academy Award nomination, and a Canadian Screen Award nomination, among others, he is just waiting in the wings for the Oscars. And with an asteroid named after him (246789 Pattinson by Russian astronomer Timur Kryachko), it is only a matter of time before he owns up to it by becoming one of the most popular stars in Hollywood. So, if you want to know what the actor has in store, here are his upcoming projects!
1. The Odyssey (July 17, 2026)
Pattinson will star in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic fantasy-action drama ‘The Odyssey.’ Production is underway in Greece. The film has been adapted by Nolan from Greek poet Homer’s eponymous epic poem. The story follows Odysseus on his perilous journey home after the Trojan War, showcasing his encounters with Polyphemus, the Sirens, and Circe, and finishing with his reunion with his wife, Penelope. The stellar cast also includes Matt Damon (Odysseus, Greek king of Ithaca), Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, Jon Bernthal, Mia Goth, Cosmo Jarvis, Elliot Page, Ryan Hurst, and John Leguizamo. The highly-anticipated drama has been slated for release on July 17, 2026.
2. Die, My Love (2025)
Currently undergoing post-production, ‘Die, My Love’ is a horror comedy helmed by Lynne Ramsay. Adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s eponymous book, the story centers on a woman whose struggle with motherhood at her countryside home has resulted in psychosis. The dilemmas of wanting to be alone but wanting to be embraced and wanting a family but burning the house down have resulted in an ever-increasing erratic behavior. Will she be saved? Pattinson will star in the film alongside Jennifer Lawrence, Nick Nolte, Sissy Spacek, and LaKeith Stanfield. Ramsay has co-written the adapted screenplay with Enda Walsh. More details are awaited. It is expected to be released in 2025.
3. The Batman Part II (October 1, 2027)
A sequel to Matt Reeves’ live-action superhero movie ‘The Batman’, ‘The Batman Part II’ is also directed by Reeves. While in the first movie, we had Edward Nashton, AKA the Riddler, as the main villain, we are yet to receive an official statement about who will show up in the second one. The plot is also under wraps, with reports of different characters being the main villains, including Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, or the elite criminal society Court of Owls. The green stimulant Batman used in the first movie can be a potential arrival of Bane, who gets his strength from Venom, the green drug.
Besides Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, AKA Batman, we can expect the return of Andy Serkis as Alfred, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, and Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin. Further updates about the cast are awaited. Reeves, Peter Craig, and Mattson Tomlin serve as the writers. The movie will be produced by 6th & Idaho Productions, DC Entertainment, and Warner Bros., which will also distribute the film. The movie is currently in its pre-production stage, aiming for release on October 1, 2027.
4. The Drama (TBA)
Kristoffer Borgli serves as the writer and director of an upcoming A24 venture titled ‘The Drama.’ Pattinson co-stars alongside Zendaya, Alana Haim Michael Abbott Jr., and Mamoudou Athie (rumored). While the plot is under wraps, the film is reportedly going to be a romance about a couple whose love life takes a dramatic turn right before their big day. No other details about the film are available, although it has reached post-production.
5. Primetime (TBA)
Pattinson will star in Lance Oppenheim’s A24-backed crime thriller ‘Primetime.’ The screenplay, written by Ajon Singh, follows a journalist who takes on an underworld of crime and ends up changing television forever. The rest of the cast is under wraps, although the project has begun filming. More details about this intriguing film are awaited.
