September 23, 2019 Off By Michael Stagno

Director Matt Reeves has begun making casting additions to his upcoming The Batman film, starring Robert Pattinson, in both Jeffrey Wright and Jonah Hill, who’s role remains mysterious.

We know, the mind immediately goes to Hill playing Penguin, but a few characters we think he would play well include: Riddler, Hugo Strange, Mad Hatter, Ventriloquist or Professor Pyg.

It has also been reported that Wright will take on the iconic role of Detective/Commissioner James Gordon as well.

Keep it here for updates as more casting news rolls in, including a possible premise for the film as well, although it has been rumored that the film will be based on the graphic novel, The Long Halloween. We’ll see. Stay tuned!
