Robert Pattinson wants to play a serial killer?

Robert Pattinson is reportedly looking forward to taking on some badboy roles after Twilight.

The actor is apparently considering a few dark roles – one of which is a serial killer.

“Robert is excited about moving on to other more diverse roles after Twilight and playing a villain is very appealing to him,” said a source close to the actor.

“One character he is fascinated with would see him playing a serial killer while there are others for villainous characters in major Hollywood blockbusters as well as an indy movie. Robert wants to show he has range to his acting and doesn’t want to be typecast as the hero or heartthrob.”
