"Robert Pattinson has said that he is &amp;quot;desperate&amp;quot; to play a superhero. The Twilight star revealed that he would like to see more actors step &amp;quot;outside the box&amp;quot; when playing roles in franchise films, and praised Heath Ledger&amp;#039;s performance in The Dark Knight as an example.   &amp;quot;I always thought after The Dark Knight... it makes tons and tons of money, and Heath is doing something just outside [the box],&amp;quot; ComicBookMovie quotes Pattinson as saying.  &amp;quot;People understand what he&amp;#039;s doing, it&amp;#039;s not like he&amp;#039;s not doing something totally crazy, but it&amp;#039;s just slightly outside the box of what people are used to seeing, and I really thought that was going to change everything about how the big budget movies are made.  &amp;quot;But it didn&amp;#039;t, at all.

Cosmopolis opens in UK cinemas on June 15. Watch a trailer below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
