Eddie Jenkins at Jumping the Shark blog posted an article called Johnny Depp Says Yes To Riddler … If Asked about Johnny Depp almost-sorta-kinda committing to playing the Riddler in the next BatMan flick.
While doing some press recently for his new film Public Enemies (also starring Batman himself Christian Bale) Depp was asked outright if he would be the Riddler in the followup to The Dark Knight, and he said, “I’d definitely juggle it.”
Personally, I think that Johnny Depp is enjoying being a top-billing actor and keeping the studios guessing about what project he wants to tackle next.
Like Eddie says, “He is not exactly signing his name in blood on the Warner Bros. dotted line” but at least its a start and keeps the conversational flow on the Third Installment of the new Batman Generation. No one knows anything about this film as nothing is confirmed as of yet, but Johnny Depp would be a great addition to the already incredible cast of the Batman:Begins and The Dark Knight films.
There is also a bit of buzz going around about Phillip Seymour Hoffman being cast as the Penguin.
Wendy at PopCrunch enlightened us with a very interesting quote from Michael Caine:
No doubt we’ll be getting clarification soon enough, but for now, check out the quote from Michael Caine.
“I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, ‘Are we going to make another one?’ They said yeah. I said, ‘How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says ‘I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.’ I said, ‘S–t, they’ve done it again!’”
