After the news broke that Jonah Hill has walked away from talks about being in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, another actor has been cast as The Riddler. Hill was teased to either be playing The Riddler or Penguin, but a deal could not be met. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dano will play Edward Nashton which is a change from his comic name of Edward Nygma.
Dano is known for Little Miss Sunshine, Cowboys & Aliens, 12 Years a Slave, Prisoners, and Okja. This casting news comes after the announcement that Zoe Kravitz will play Selina Kyle aka Catwoman alongside Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne aka Batman. With one villain down, who else will join Reeves’ highly anticipated film?
