Robert Pattinson Perfected Sci-Fi Before 'Mickey 17' with 'High Life'

While vampires are known to turn into bats in fiction, British actor Robert Pattinsonis probably the only person known to have done just that in real life, making his initial breakthrough as vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise before capping off his ascendance to stardom by becoming the latest actor to take on the eponymous hero in the Batman franchise. His latest role is as the down-on-his-luck protagonist in Bong Joon-ho's sci-fi dark comedy, Mickey 17 (2025); it's the director's first film since his brilliant, Oscar-winning satire Parasite (2019).
