Only 1 Star Trek Exists Until Stranger Things Season 5 Star Trek was just called 'Star Trek' during Stranger Things.

β€˜The Batman Part II’: Scarlett Johansson Eyeing New Role Opposite Robert Pattinson In Sequel Scarlett Johansson is in talks to join Robert Pattinson in the DC Studios sequel The Batman Part II.

1. YES.
2. After Zoe Kravitz, it's interesting how they're casting actresses under 5'5" opposite Robert Pattinson
