Despite the denials, Johnny Depp could be The Riddler after all.
Talking to MTV, “Dark Knight” star Michael Caine says Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman – playing The Penguin – are up for the bad-guy roles in the next Bat sequel. The studio told him so.
Caine says : “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!'”
I don’t do argue with Alfie – but I think the studio might like a little heated discussion with him after pronouncing the above.
