CAN YOU IMAGINE?

Dear Lord, Johnny Depp as The Riddler? It boggles the mind…

Johnny Depp has reportedly been approached to play a villain in the next Batman movie.

The actor is wanted to portray The Riddler in the follow-up to The Dark Knight, according to studio bosses.

A source said: “Johnny would be amazing as The Riddler. The studio knew they needed someone who could match or even top the late actor Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker in the most recent film The Dark Knight, and think Johnny has the potential to do so.”

…The Riddler was played by Jim Carrey in the 1995 movie Batman Forever.

Studio bosses are also said to be keen to sign up Philip Seymour Hoffman to play The Penguin in the new movie.

They reportedly believe the Oscar-winning star would be the right choice to play the aristocratic, intelligent and terrifying villain. [Source]

Of course, it’s only a rumour, but if true, I cannot imagine how unreal it will be. Not to mention Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin? Jeeeeesus!

Peace, Love & Batman
