"No, I don't understand why that's come about!" he laughed. "It's crazy. It's like those other weird rumors. I mean, I wish!"
He also debunked the Star Wars Hans Solo spin-off rumors.
"I didn't even know there was a Hans Solo spin-off!" he said. "It sounds like a cool spin-off though -- I'll watch it."
Pattinson plays Rey in The Rover, who becomes an unwitting accomplice to Eric, a ruthless, hardened ex-soldier (Guy Pearce) in a post-apocalyptic world. He's currently getting rave reviews for his bold new role, including from his co-star Guy Pearce.
"Rob does a beautiful job as Rey. He really has a beautiful vulnerability and a naive sort of quality that he brought to Rey, which I think really works for our dynamic," Pearce, 46, told ET. "He's a really committed actor."
Director David Michod revealed that Pattinson's audition was "amazing" and "exhilarating," and that he had not seen any of the Twilight films prior to meeting him.
