Speculation about the cast of the new Batman has been confirmed. The popular British actor will play Alfred.
With each news, the cast of Matt Reeves’ The Batman looks more and more interesting. The main character will be played by Robert Pattinson (currently collecting many praises for his role in The Lighthouse ). Next to him, on the screen we will see Jeffrey Wright (Commissioner Gordon), Paul Dano (Riddler) and Zoe Kravitz.
Today, however, the director officially confirmed the latest reports. So it is already certain that Andy Serkis will play Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth. The British actor is best known for his role as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings and Caesar in the latest Planet of the Apes trilogy , i.e. using motion capture technology , where the impersonator was finally covered with CGI effects. Nevertheless, we should not be concerned about Serkis’ performances somehow without computer effects. He created recognizable creations, for example in the films Prestiż and Black Panther .
The Batman is slated to hit theaters on June 25, 2021. Shooting will begin in January next year.
