The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson and directed by Matt Reeves, is set for release June 25th of next year. We may have had a very early sneak peek at Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne, however – but not in the way you might expect.

Avengers: Endgame brought the first stage of the MCU, the Infinity Saga, to an emotional close. One of the most heartbreaking moments was Tony Stark’s death.

In Endgame, the heroes had to collect all six Infinity Stones to reverse the Decimation and bring back the half of the universe that vanished when Thanos infamously snapped his fingers in 2017’s Avengers: Infinity War. The stone that proved hardest to get hold of was the Soul Stone. Just like when Thanos…

In the Joker: Vision & Fury special feature included as part of the film’s home release, director Todd Phillips revealed Phoenix’s weight-loss methods.
