Arnold Schwarzenegger recently shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) where he andBatman & Robinco-star Uma Thurman reunited almost 30 years after the movie debuted. Before the dark and grittyThe Batmanfrom Matt Reeves ofDCUElseworlds, or the Christopher NolanDark Knighttrilogy, theBatmanmovies of the 1990s, revealed a very different side of the characters. With bright colors, wacky villains, and a batsuit that featured prominent nipples, the 1997Batman & Robinbecame one of the least well received films in the series, but that hasn’t stopped Thurman and Schwarzenegger from continuing a decades-long friendship.
This post came shortly aftermega star Uma Thurmanherself posted the same picture on Instagram with a similar caption referencing the movie where the pair first collaborated. However, whilethe pair have likely caught up on other occasions over that 27-year span, they have not been cast in another project together. This is somewhat surprising considering how prolific and active both actors are in Hollywood and how healthy their acting careers have been.
Why Arnold Schwarzenegger & Uma Thurman Reuniting Is Great To See
The Stars Are Making Time For One Another Despite Busy Schedules
At first glance, the fact that both Thurman and Schwarzeneggerposted the same photo with captions that reference their work inBatman & Robin, it’s easy to assume that this may hint at something bigger that is yet to come. It’s not impossible, considering the DCU is actively in the process of establishing anew universe after the faltering DCEU, but it does feel unlikely that they would be asked to return to these roles decades later in a universe that promises to be very different tonally to all that came before.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Best & Worst Movies Have 1 Surprising Thing In Common
The Terminator and Batman and Robin are Arnold Schwarzenegger’s best and worst movies, and the characters he plays have one thing in common.
With this in mind, it is much more likely that Thurman and Schwarzenegger are simply enjoying each other’s company and catching up afterdecades where their careers have taken them down different paths. They may be close friends who meet up frequently, or fond friends who have not had a moment to catch up for years, but in either instance, it’s great to see them making time and enjoying themselves rather than being too busy to catch up. But that also doesn’t mean the catching up for work theory should be discounted.
In Hollywood, the process of making movies tends to be slow, and everything only speeds up when the movie trailer is released and the cast fly around the world marketing the film until it drops and the results of years of hard work is finally unveiled. Schwarzenegger and Thurman are huge stars who have never been short of work, but they haven’t had another opportunity to work together since 1997. Their recent meeting could hint at some upcoming collaboration, eitherconnected toBatman & Robinor completely separate, but if that’s the case, it could still be some time until the secret is revealed.
