The Batman: Matt Reeves Rumored To Be Looking At Andy Serkis For A Role?

Things seem to finally be moving along at a decent pace on Matt Reeves as yet untitled Batman movie that we are all calling The Batman for now. Robert Pattinson has been confirmed as the new iteration of The Dark Knight and now Reeves is looking to round out the rest of the casting process.

We have been told to expect a number of antagonists in this movie and reports say that we could see The Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler (main villain), and even Firefly as well. We have been told what kind of age they are looking for when it comes to casting these roles, but very little else so far.

Now, there is a rumor started by Batman On Film, that Matt Reeves is looking at Andy Serkis for a role in the movie. The outlet admits this is just a rumor they have heard and they are not claiming this as fact, but they have been told by sources that Reeves wants Serkis for an unnamed role. The only thing they were told about the role, was that it was not for a mo-cap character, which of course Serkis is famous for playing.

To be honest, this does make a lot of sense because Reeves previously worked with Serkis on his Planet of the Apes movies, but then it’s a reasonable guess to make without any kind of actual knowledge when you look at it from this angle? In terms of who Serkis could be playing, if Reeves really is interested, the outlet had been told nothing about this, though they do theorize he could make a great Penguin. I must admit, as soon as I read the headline I thought the same thing, The Penguin has quite often been portrayed as British with a British accent before, most recently in the Arkham games from Rocksteady, but equally, he has been played as being American before as well.

Personally, I think Serkis could be a wonderful choice to play Penguin in the upcoming movie, if that’s where Reeves decides to go. What do you think, would you like to see Serkis as Oswald Cobblepot in Matt Reeves The Batman? Sing like a birdy in your usual chat spot below.
