“Twilight Saga” Stars: Where Are They Now?

Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight books were wildly popular when they were first released. However, when it was brought to life on the big screen, the fantasy romance story became a worldwide phenomenon. As the saga unfolded across five blockbuster movies, many viewers grew to become big fans of the stars of Twilight. As a result, when Breaking Dawn Part 2 was released, fans were faced with the bittersweet feeling of bidding farewell to some of their favorite characters.

Robert Pattinson & FKA Twigs Relationship Timeline

FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson endured one of the most difficult public relationships in the mid-2010s. Twigs was on a swift rise to fame for her eclectic, acclaimed debut album. Pattinson on the other hand, was already a certified heartthrob, thanks to his role in the Twilight film franchise. Amid the ever-watchful eye of the public, their relationship was marred by Pattinson’s fans, who constantly mocked and disrespected the talented singer and artist. 

While the pair strived to make it work, their relationship eventually came to an end after three years. Despite it all, they have found renewed love in other people. Robert Pattinson is currently dating Suki Waterhouse, and the couple are expecting their first child together. Twigs has also found a new love in the brilliant artist, Jordan Hemingway, and is greatly focused on her music. Nonetheless, from the start of their relationship, to its end, Pattinson and Twigs were a beautiful couple that were ultimately heading down different paths. Here’s a timeline of their relationship.

The first whispers of a connection between Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs emerged in the summer of 2014. However, the couple managed to keep their early interactions largely under wraps. According to a source on E! News, Pattinson, alongside his friends Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge, had attended Twigs’ concert.

However, public scrutiny arose, particularly from Pattinson’s fans, and FKA Twigs was subjected to racist hate comments. Unable to escape from the influx of harsh comments, she tweeted: “I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week.” 

Despite this, the relationship continued to flourish. Twigs spoke to The Guardian about pushing on with Robert Pattinson regardless of the naysayers. “…it’s like, is this person in my life worth that?

“The Batman Part II” Will See Robert Pattinson Return To The Big Screen In 2025

Many were initially taken aback by Robert Pattinson landing the lead in the latest reboot of The Batman. Now that they’ve seen what he’s capable of in the suit, though, the world is eagerly awaiting the superhero film’s sequel.

A follow-up to the Matt Reeves-directed project was greenlit last April, and earlier this week, a release date was shared. As Variety reports, the earliest fans can expect to see the Twilight alum back in character alongside Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman will be in late 2025.

The sequel’s synopsis remains under wraps for the time being. However, we do know it’s a part of DC’s new “Elseworlds” category. James Gunn previously announced that any film or television series that doesn’t fall in the main DC Universe will be a part of this realm, similar to their DC Comics section.

Other upcoming projects on the same roster include Joker: Folie à Deux via Todd Phillips. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, that movie is expected to arrive on October 4th, 2024. Additionally, there’s the ongoing animated series, Teen Titans Go! and a separate Superman film written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and produced by J.J. Abrams.

The latter of the two first made headlines in 2021 and has remained in active development since. At this time, executives are excitedly awaiting the arrival of a screenplay draft to review.

Pattinson and Reeves plan to continue their work with the DC Elseworlds Batman franchise. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t see someone else conquer the role in the DC Universe. Variety notes that a Batman & Robin movie is on the way for that category. It’s specifically based on “The Brave and Bold” comics.

For his part, the director also has another big project on his mind – Colin Farrell’s Penguin character spinoff series. Earlier this month, Reeves confirmed his plans to meet with Gunn to ensure that the “BatVerse” and the larger DC Universe don’t collide. Instead, he hopes the two stories are able to support each other.

Upon its debut, The Batman grossed $770 million worldwide at the box office. It’s currently available for streaming on HBO Max, or on Crave in Canada.

Cardi B Fanned Out Over Meeting Robert Pattinson And It Was Pretty Freaking Adorable

One of the best things about Cardi B as a public figure and pop star, is she doesn’t resign herself to the remove that so many celebrities adopt once they get famous. Instead, she still acts exactly like a normal person would when they meet someone famous or exciting, and her reactions when these meetings do happen are pretty priceless. She gave us another hilarious and pretty freaking adorable moment of celebrity fandom this week, when she met Robert Pattinson, aka Edward Cullen, for the first time. “Look who I met the other day ! I felt like a teen!” she wrote to caption the quick video.

At first she pretends to just be primping for a forward-facing video, before revealing her true purpose: “Come on, look at my friend guys,” she begins. But when Edward — sorry, I mean Robert — pops into the frame, all she can do is yell. Yes, it seems like Cardi was also a Twilight stan along with the rest of us. Hey, she’s the right age for it! For his part, Pattinson seemed to think the whole thing was pretty funny, but he was a good sport which really just makes me like him more than I already did. Anyway, if you like watching Cardi the celeb, catch her hosting the AMAs in just a few days.
