  "account": "In the latest update on Matt Reeves' sequel to The Batman, Robert Pattinson has revealed that the lengthy production process has made him feel his age. Originally slated for release on October 3, 2022, the film has been delayed multiple times and is now set to hit theaters on February 18, 2028. Pattinson, who turned 40 on May 13, admitted that the demanding nature of the sequel is making him feel the effects of aging more than ever. \"I'm definitely feeling my age when fighting a lot. I'm literally like, 'Goddamn, this is significantly harder than it used to be,'\" he said in an interview with GQ. The actor, who first donned the Batman costume for the first film six years ago, acknowledged that the physical toll of the role has increased with his age. However, Pattinson expressed excitement about the movie, praising the strong cast and calling it a \"marathon.\" For those struggling with the passage of time, Pattinson recommended starting the day with water, stretches, push-ups, black coffee, almonds, fruit, and regular exercise to prevent future issues.",
