The cast is getting bigger and bigger...Yesterday a French website Le Fiagro reported that actress Marion Cotillard (Inception, Nine, Public Enemies) is joining the cast of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, even though she is not confirmed yet, she is definitely in talks .

From The Hollywood Reporter:

A rep for the actress in Paris said that her involvement in the film is currently "in discussions, but nothing has been confirmed yet." WB France has yet to comment. The actress, who is pregnant and due in the spring, is discussing scheduling issues.The plan is for Cotillard to start shooting mid-June in London, film all summer in L.A. and Pittsburgh and wrap mid-November in New York.


It is still unknown what character would she play, but the word is that Thalia Al Ghul is on top of the list.

Film is set to start shooting soon, so stay tuned for updates!

I really hope she isn't Talia, I was really hoping that Rhona Mitra was/is going to get that role. Better actress, body, physical ability, and ethnic backgroud for the role.

@Superdog
Why? TDK had like 5 new characters in it. 3 of which died, and 1 isn't going to show up.

No way is Rhona Mitra a better actress than Marion Cotillard...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! She is terrible! This really is going to be Inception 2 :(

If she is cast, its gotta be Talia. Which would suggest this version of Bane will be part of the League of Shadows. IF JGL is in I'd hope for Black Mask.

Im hoping for Talia but she could also be playing Sofia Falcone , The Hangman. which would fit in with the whole Dark victory storyline.

All it needed was a few adjustments and Inception could have easily been TDKR

I've been reading the updates for a while on TDKR. How three actors that were in Inception are now in this, and now EVERYBODY is straight up whining about how this is just going to be Inception 2. It's three actors. THREE! Nobody complains when Quentin Tarantino uses the same actors. Nobody was like "you know, Reservoir Dogs had Steve Buscemi, Quentin Tarantino, Harvey Keitel, and Tim Roth. And now they're in Pulp Fiction? GOD, JUST CALL IT RESERVOIR DOGS 2!". Nobody complained when Martin Scorsese used Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Frank Vincent and a few other actors in a majority of his films around the same time period. But for some reason we feel the need to constantly complain about Nolan wanting to use three actors from Inception for Dark Knight Rises. Sure, I do agree that it's starting to feel a little overcrowded, but this is normal. Directors will always use actors they feel the most comfortable with. This is just how movies work. The better they work with actors the more they will use them. Nobody said that Joseph or Marion will be huge rolls, only Tom Hardy is a major role. So, before we start jumping to conclusions, lets just let Christopher Nolan make the movie he wants to make with who he wants to make it with. lol sorry, just had to rant.

Yay! She is beautiful and great actor! I just love her!8)

Talia Al Ghul or Sofia Falcone

By the way they could easily make Alberto Falcone and Black Mask the same person, like they did with Neeson´s character in Batman Begins, Henri Ducard and Ra´s Al Ghul. If Levitt is Falcone in the movie. I think that would be cool?


Robert Englund or Ralph Fiennes would be great Hugo Strange maybe in cameo role.

Lets just call this Inception 2.

I bet most of the people here are demanding to see a Catwoman vs Talia cat-fight. ;)

RyanLantern77 - 2/14/2011, 10:05 AM
Gotta be Talia. Who cares if Nolan is using his cast from Inception? He made an EPIC movie with the cast and he knows they can all deliver. Let the man cast whoever he wants and let the awesomeness unfold!
RyanLantern77
RyanLantern77 - 2/14/2011, 10:08 AM
@AlexDeLarge87 Black Mask is probably one of my favorite Batman villians, it would be sweet to see him portrayed on film ESPECIALLY at the hand of Nolan. The Long Halloween was an insane book and it would be cool to see some of that story line take place in with JGL as Alberto Falcone in TDKR.

BobHasMyPants - 2/14/2011, 10:09 AM
don't really care who she plays, intersting that TDKR may have two female leads though!

AlexDeLarge87 - 2/14/2011, 10:14 AM
TheBlackWidow@ Catfight would sweet and of course hot!:P Talia as bad girl and Catwoman as good girl.

RyanLantern77@ Couldnt agree more. JGL as Alberto Falcone / Black Mask FTW!:)
RyanLantern77
RyanLantern77 - 2/14/2011, 10:17 AM
YES! Either one and I am happy

Why do they need anymore characters??? They already have plenty of characters and storylines they could do. Why dilute the story anymore than it needs to be?

People who say "overcrowded" are blind and dumb as [frick]. INCEPTION had like 8 main characters in it. No joke. And they each had important roles to the film's storyline. Nolan makes his casting choices count. You don't complain about the dozens of no name people you see in movies, who they cast as extras and what not. You people act like you make movies yourself. Just shut up lol. Let Nolan do his magic and stop acting like you know more shit than he does at his actual job.

Ladies & Gentlemen this is shaping up to be the best character acting cast!It has academy award nominees and winners, I truly believe The Dark Knight Rises will be the biggest movie of 2012, I know it is the movie I want to see more than another in 2012, after that The Man of Steel, after that The Avengers, and after that The Amazing Spider-man. I look 4ward to this summer & next summer of 2012 also!

Having Micheal caine, tom hardy and JGL in TDKR is more than enough cast members from inception, so having another cast member from inception is just WAAAAY over the top. Im sure there must be someone else they can cast.....otherwise this is gonna turn out to be deja vu!!!!
