The other day, we received word that Matthew Modine, Joey King, and Tom Conti all joined the cast of Nolan's final Batman film,
The Dark Knight Rises. While nothing is known about Conti and King's roles in the movie, it's been announced that Modine (
Full Metal Jacket,
Married To The Mob) will be playing a character known as 'Nixon'.
EW has the following to say:
EW has confirmed that Matthew Modine, star of Full Metal Jacket and Married to the Mob, has been cast in the upcoming Bat-threequel. A report in Variety said that Modine was playing a character named “Nixon,” but Modine’s reps couldn’t confirm that piece of information.
Sounds like this is another Nolan-invented character, since (to my knowledge at least) there isn't a character known as 'Nixon' in the Batman comics. Anyways,
The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon Levitt, and many more, and will be released July 20th, 2012!
