Robert Pattinson seems to be following in on Christian Bale’s filmography. After starring in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, mirroring Bale’s iconic role in Christopher Nolan’sBatmanTrilogy. However, the actor might be stepping up his Bale-game, because the next character to be included in theTwilightstar’s filmography takes heavy inspiration from another Bale classic: Patrick Bateman.
Pattinson’s next big film has Adam McKay at its head, and it calls for the acting chops to emulate a certain character from Mary Harron’sAmerican Psycho.Average Build, Average Heightis McKay’s latest black comedy, set to launch on Netflix.

When can you watchAverage Height,Average Build?
Average Height, Average Buildwas slated to start production in early 2023. However, the writer’s strikes, and now the ongoing actors’ strikes, have pushed the project to a later date. While late 2024 would have been the estimated time for the movie to be made available on Netflix, the current trajectory of events suggests the film will only see the light of day in 2025 at the earliest.
McKay’s previous tumble with the streaming service yielded the hilariously popularDon’t Look Up, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, and Timothy Chalamet. A similarly dark and humourous take on governance with a focus on science and scientific data, McKay has proven himself to handle such subject matter with remarkable maturity and wit. While the production of the project is yet to be started, it is safe to assume that it is in brilliant hands with McKay.
