De Niro will appear in an Uber UK campaign, but not as his iconic character Travis Bickle.
Contrary to recent reports, Robert De Niro is not about to reprise one of his most iconic roles. Over the weekend, The Sun claimed that De Niro would be returning to his role of Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle in an upcoming commercial for the rideshare giant Uber. The report suggested that De Niro would also utter the film's most iconic line,"You talkin' to me?", which prompted a number of responses from movie fans, as well as from the film's writer, Paul Schrader.
Also starring in Killers of the Flower Moon are Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Tantoo Cardinal, Louis Cancelmi, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Tatanka Means, Pat Healy, Scott Shepherd, and Gary Basaraba. Will Robert De Niro Appear in a TV Show?After years of mainly doing film roles, De Niro has recently been attached to two television shows, beginning with the forthcoming Netflix limited series Zero Day.
De Niro is also in talks to star in Bobby Meritorious, a new crime drama expected to debut on Paramount+. The series will be written and executive produced by The Comey Rule's Billy Ray, with former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara also serving as an executive producer. Bobby Meritorious is set amid the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, which is a sovereign kingdom with seemingly unlimited power and scope.
