The cast for Matt Reeves‘ The Batman continues to grow, with The Wrap reporting tonight that Andy Serkis (War for the Planet of the Apes, Black Panther) is now in talks to play the role of Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. The character has been played by many actors over the years, including Michael Gough, Michael Caine and Jeremy Irons.
Serkis can next be seen as the Ghost of Christmas Past in BBC’s horror-tinged “A Christmas Carol.” The actor/filmmaker will also be directing the sequel to last year’s Venom.
Robert Pattinson is playing Bruce Wayne/Batman in the movie, which will also star Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon and Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman.
Paul Dano is set to play the Riddler.
Reeves is reportedly casting a “rogues gallery” of DC villains who will appear in the film.
Reeves and Mattson Tomlin wrote the screenplay.
The Batman hits theaters on June 25, 2021.
Inspired by Nicholas Hogg’s 2015 novel Tokyo Nobody, the thriller A Sacrifice starring Sadie Sink (“Stranger Things”) is on the way from Vertical, and the official trailer has arrived.
From director Jordan Scott, the film releases on June 28, 2024.
“A Sacrifice is an emotionally turbulent story that follows American social psychologist Ben Monroe who is investigating a local Berlin cult connected to disturbing events.
“While he immerses himself in his work, his rebellious teenage daughter, Mazzy, becomes embroiled with a mysterious local boy who introduces her to the city’s underground party scene. As their two worlds head toward a dangerous intersection, Ben will need to race against the clock in order to save his daughter.”
Sadie Sink stars alongside Eric Bana and Sylvia Hoeks.
A Sacrifice is produced by Ridley Scott.
