Robert Pattinsonas 007? There’s one director who could see it happening.
Danny Boyle, who was formerly set to direct the upcomingBond 25, revealed in an interview withVarietyhe could see Pattinson, 33, portraying the iconic British spy.
“I was watching the Claire Denis film the other day,High Life— and it’s very good, I’d recommend, Robert Pattinson is very good in it,” Boyle, 62, said of Pattinson’s latest film.
“I was watching it with a friend, and I said to him, ‘They should cast Robert Pattinson [as Bond]. He’s really matured in that film.’ And he said to me, ‘They just cast him as Batman.’ So anyway, I don’t know. There’s enough great minds thinking about that.”
Pattinsonnabbed the role of Batmanafter reports swirled earlier this month that he and Nicholas Hoult were in the running for the gig.

The film’s director Matt Reevesconfirmed the storyline is a trilogyand will feature “a point of view-driven, noir Batman tale” in an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter.
“It’s told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it’s going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional,” Reeves continued. “It’s more Batman in his detective mode that we’ve seen in the films.”
