The Batman‘s star-studded cast continues to grow.
According to Deadline, Colin Farrell is in negotiations with Warner Bros. to join the highly-anticipated film. If talks pan out, Farrell will take on the role of The Penguin in the upcoming movie, which will be directed by Matt Reeves. The cast of The Batman already includes Robert Pattinson, who is set to play Bruce Wayne/the Caped Crusader in the film.
“It’s kind of insane,” Pattinson told Esquire U.K. about landing the coveted role. “I was so far away from ever thinking it was a realistic prospect. I literally do not understand how I’ve got it, at all.”
In mid-October, E! News learned that Big Little Lies actress Zoë Kravitz had been cast in The Batman, landing the iconic role of Selina Kyleâ€â€aka Catwoman. Around that same time, Warner Bros. announced that actor Paul Dano will play the role of the villain known as The Riddler.
Additionally, multiple outlets have now reported that Andy Serkis is in talks to play Alfred Pennyworth in the buzzed-about movie.
As more information emerges about The Batman, let’s take a look at everything we know so far! Check out the movie scoop below!
