The Batman may have a director, but with Joe Manganiello unsure if he'll be suiting up as Deathstroke, we have no real idea what may be on the way for the Caped Crusader in this movie. It's possible then that a villain like The Penguin will show up, and with Josh Gad getting fans talking with intriguings posts on social media, a large group of fans would love to see him take on the role of this iconic villain.
When MTV caught up with the Frozen star recently, he insisted that he was "just having some fun" and that "there's nothing there" in regards to him having any talks with Warner Bros. about The Batman.
Gad did, however, say that he's a fan of Reeves' worth and that, "I would absolutely be open to playing the Penguin in the Batman movie. There’s nothing more we need to talk about. We’ll see."
You have to believe that the studio has taken note of the fan support for Gad and the huge amount of attention his Tweets have generated (Channing Tatum was cast as Gambit after expressing an interest in interviews even if the movie still hasn't become a reality). Will he wind up with a role in The Batman? That remains to be seen, but we'll hopefully hear something sooner rather than later.
