Drew Starkey gives no confirmation or denial about speculation that they may be cast as Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ 1991 novel American Psycho. In recent comments, Starkey responds with a “no comment” while also indicating interest in the project, saying the script is “amazing.”
Both outlets link the casting buzz to Starkey’s prior collaboration with Guadagnino on the 2024 film Queer, a relationship that has fueled interest in whether the pair will work again. ComingSoon.net frames Starkey’s “no comment” as effectively renewing the public conversation about who will play Bateman. Deadline likewise reports that Starkey avoids taking a direct stance, but highlights the actor’s positive remark about the script.
Across the coverage, the main difference is emphasis: one outlet spotlights how Starkey’s silence and teasing response reignite rumors, while the other focuses on Starkey’s refusal to address casting directly paired with the praise for the script. No source provides official casting confirmation from Guadagnino or the production team.
