Hill is currently seeking to play a villain in Director Matt Reeves, and his casting team allegedly offered Hill a role four weeks ago that prompted the actor’s quick response. We Got This Covered Hill has agreed to be part of the project, but only if it has paid twice as much money as Pattinson. The Twilight alum is paying over $5 million to play Bruce Wayne bringing only $10 million in Hill’s salary. There’s no telling if this kind of money is worth Hill especially considering how the franchise has struggled in recent years. Yet Reeves certainly does have some stuff to hammer out before filming can start. # Batman pic.twitter.com/HdsPxWs9VH There are reports that Hill would like to play Joker or Riddler as well. But obviously the actor is also in talks about the part so we’ll see what plays out. Reeves hasn’t said anything about casting The Batman, but in the next few months shooting will commence. The film is set to premiere in the summer of 2021, and hopefully Reeves will have plenty of time to do stuff. Hill won’t be the only villain in ‘ The Joker ‘ Unlike Batman movies in the past few years, Reeves brings the character back to his Batman roots. The film allegedly features a younger Batman as he tries to solve a mystery involving several of the notorious criminals of Gotham. How many villains the film will feature is still unknown, but we know the Riddler Penguin and Cat Woman will appear as Batman takes down a rogue gallery of bad guys.We don’t know if Reeves plans to leave Gordon on the sidelines in The Batman but casting an actor like Wright could give the character a greater role in the movie.

The story features a Gordon that is much more aggressive than fans are used to and Wright easily has the chops to pull it off. If Wright does land a part in the movie then Reeves also opens the door to cast a black actress to play the part of Barbara Gordon (also known as Batgirl). The Batman is scheduled to open June 25, 2021 in theatres.We don’t know if Reeves plans to leave Gordon on the sidelines in The Batman but casting an actor like Wright could give the character a greater role in the movie.
