Robert De Niro and Al Pacino have been popular actors for decades, but it wasn't until late into their careers that they first collaborated in Heat.
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino were two of the biggest actors for three decades, but it wasn't until late in their careers that they finally collaborated in Heat. The 1995 movie is often considered one of the most well-crafted action movies in cinema, as its accurate and realistic depiction of heists and tactical police strategies greatly influenced Hollywood.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT De Niro and Pacino had often competed for the same roles, as De Niro almost played Michael Corleone in The Godfather and Pacino almost played Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver . The two celebrated actors even starred in The Godfather Part II, but they didn't have any scenes together.
De Niro & Pacino Were In Their 50s In Heat Pacino and De Niro were late bloomers in Hollywood, as no producer or casting agent paid attention to De Niro until he was nearing 30, and in Pacino's case, he was 32 when he got his breakthrough role in The Godfather. As a result, Pacino was 55, and De Niro was 52 in Heat, but the Michael Man-directed movie expertly took advantage of the actors' ages.
Could De Niro & Pacino Return In Heat 2? Heat 2 was released as a novel in 2022, which was co-written by Mann and Meg Gardiner and is part prequel and part sequel. The novel follows Hanna and McCauley cutting their teeth as a detective and a bank robber, but it also follows McCauley tracking down Chris Shiherlis directly after the events of the movie.
De-aging technology has advanced so quickly, and Pacino and De Niro have already been de-aged in another collaboration of theirs, Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. That de-aging technology can be used for Heat 2. Unfortunately, it would be a Godfather Part II situation, as even though it'd be exciting to see Pacino and De Niro return, the two actors wouldn't have any screen time together.
