A graduate of McMaster University, Ryan began his career in public relations before attending Vancouver Film School. There, he built lasting industry connections and optioned a feature film screenplay.

Robert Pattinson shares his thoughts on The Batman Part II‘s new director.

Four years after Pattinson’s debut as the Caped Crusader, production finally began this year on the anticipated DC sequel, with Matt Reeves once again behind the camera as director. Earlier this month, however, it was confirmed that Reeves would be stepping away from production on The Batman Part II to deal with a family matter, with director Steven Soderbergh to step in to help Reeves complete principal photography.

Speaking with GamesRadar+, Pattinson expresses his gratitude that Soderbergh is lending a helping hand on The Batman Part II to complete filming. The star calls Soderbergh “selfless” and reveals that filming on the movie is nearly complete. Check out his full comment below:

“I am so happy he’s come on to help Matt. It’s incredibly generous of him – and he’s doing it in the loveliest way. It’s completely selfless. I think Matt had put so much work into the script, and we’re almost done. So for someone to come in and say, ‘I just want to help Matt do it; I want to do it in conjunction with him and just get it to the edit.’ And to have someone who’s as talented as Steven doing it is great.”
