DC’s The Batman reboot movie has been making big headlines this week with new casting news – Zoe Kravitz landing the role of Catwoman. Now comes a new report that states Warner Bros. and director Matt Reeves couldn’t come to a deal to cast Jonah Hill in The Batman, despite rumors that the Wolf of Wall Street actor was in talks for an iconic Batman villain role. However, included in the report that Hill is out of The Batman comes another headline-worthy reveal: Apparently Warner Bros. was also eyeing Seth Rogen for a villain role in The Batman.

 

As Deadline reports, Seth Rogen was eyed for a role as The Penguin in The Batman, though it’s unclear if that is still one of Warner Bros. and Matt Reeves’ casting goals:

 

“We heard that there was interest from the production in Seth Rogen for the role of the Penguin, however, but I hear no offers or talks occurred.”

 

These details about The Batman casting process and its current state are still coming to light, so it’s hard to know from Deadline’s phrasing above if Seth Rogen is still on the list of actors the studio will be approaching, or if the process has moved on.
