The Batman
Andy Serkis is"for sure"interested in joining Matt Reeves ' DC movieThe Batman . The motion - capture actor behind Gollum inThe Lord of the Ringsfilms and Caesar in thePlanet of the Apesreboot trilogy is far from a stranger to comic leger fare , either . year before he play the maniacal branch dealer Ulysses Klaue in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , Serkis portray the booze - loving Captain Haddock in Steven Spielberg ’s mo - capThe Adventures of Tintincomics adaptation . Serkis may even recapitulate the theatrical role in a few years , should Spielberg ’s prediction thatTintin 2will fall out by 2021come to go through .
With Caesar and Klaue now six feet under andSerkis ' days play Supreme Leader Snokein theStar Warsmovies ( presumably ) behind him , the role player could be on the hunt for the next gravid franchise to hang his chapeau on . The Batmanis one opening , see as Serkis is n’t part of the DC picture population just yet and has worked with Reeves on a pair of acclaimedApessequels already .

Up next for Serkis isMowgli , a bit - cap version ofThe Jungle Bookthat he directed and costars in as Baloo the bear . Warner Bros. debut the firstMowglifootage back at CinemaCon in April and Serkis has since promised thattheMowglitraileris powerful around the niche . JoBlointerviewed him as part of the marketing push for the film and , naturally , the subject of whether Serkis has any interest group in re - collaborating with Reeves onThe Batmancame up :
" Oh , for certain ! I mean , I ’d go to the bound of the created universe with Matt [ Reeves ] . I mean , he ’s the most bright director . I would operate with anything with him again , y’know , I imply , I absolutely adore him and we ’re very good friends , snug friends , and I imagine he ’s an over-the-top theater director so for sure . "
Rand responded with like enthusiasm , back when aTwitteruser asked him if there could bea spot for Serkis inThe Batman . The filmmaker evencompared Serkis as Caesar to Bruce Wayneon multiple social occasion while he promotedWar for the Planet of the Apeslast summertime . Of course , Serkis could just as easily play a regular human in Reeves ' DC cinema as he could one of the many fantastical rogues of the Batman universe by way of ( what else ? ) motion - capture performance . He ’s not locked down to too many developing projects at the minute either , so there should n’t be any programing conflicts that would prevent him from joiningThe Batman ’s form .
As for whenThe Batmanwill lead off filming , well , that ’s been the big question for awhile . Reeves confirmed a month back thatpre - production onThe Batmanis derive alongnicely , but the moving-picture show does n’t have a provisional production startle date yet . For that matter , it stay unclear ifBen Affleck will be playing Batmanin the movie or passing the mantel on to someone else . Nevertheless , Serkis would be a welcome addition to the film , based on the blockbuster conjuration that he and Reeves have made together in the past .
