Anna Kendrick wants Trump to know she has the 'stamina' to play Robin


This just made us way more excited for The Batman.

In an interview for their new movie The Accountant, co-stars Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick chatted with MTV News about Affleck's other high-profile project, the one he's donning a Batsuit to direct, co-write and star in.

And Kendrick has some ideas for who should play Robin in the film, whipping out a superhero suit that she just happened to have on hand.

“Holy coincidence, Batman! Any room for a plucky sidekick?" she joked.

And don't tell her she can't play Batman's sidekick because she's a girl (in fact a female version of Robin has fought crime in the comics). “It is 2016, and I don’t now need this patriarchal (expletive) from either of you,” she says, getting political — “Do I not have the stamina? Do I not have the look, Mr. Trump?”

Hear that, Donald?

A release date for Affleck's tentatively titled movie has yet to be announced.
