Robert Pattinson Criticizes Ongoing 'Twilight' Backlash Nearly Two Decades Later

The actor dismisses claims that the franchise ruined the vampire genre and reflects on its enduring cultural impact.

Robert Pattinson expressed frustration with lingering criticism of 'The Twilight Saga,' calling it 'crazy' that people are still upset about the series nearly 20 years later.
The actor noted the franchise's unexpected cultural resurgence, comparing its renewed popularity to the global rise of K-pop.
Pattinson recalled creative tensions during the making of the first 'Twilight' film, where his 'arty' approach to Edward Cullen clashed with studio expectations.
Despite initial skepticism from the studio about his casting, 'The Twilight Saga' grossed over $3.3 billion worldwide and launched Pattinson's career.
Pattinson has since diversified his filmography with critically acclaimed roles and is set to star in Bong Joon-ho's 'Mickey 17' and the sequel to 'The Batman.'
