Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Robert Pattinson (The Batman) are reportedly set to star in an upcoming serial killer movie from director Adam McKay (Don't Look Up, The Big Short, Step Brothers, and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy).

The report comes from Puck News, which reveals the title of the movie is Average Height, Average Build, and it’s described as an "allegorical dramedy."

The story revolves around "a serial killer who gets into politics in an effort to change the laws to be more, well, murder-friendly." Pattinson will take on the lead role as the killer, and McKay’s plan is to bring together another big ensemble "starry cast," that will consist of "Robert Downey Jr. and more in the mix." 

This seems like it’ll be an interesting film project! There’s no word on who Downy Jr. will play in the movie, but I hope it’s a strong role for him. He hasn’t had a strong movie role since playing Iron Man. It was also recently announced that he’s involved in a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo.

McKay seems to be enjoying making these socio-political satire films, and I’m curious to see what he has planned for this story. Getting Downey Jr. and Pattinson on board is definitely something that will pique people’s interest in it! What do you think?
