As part of their weekly Heat Vision newsletter,
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that relative newcomer Gil Perez-Abraham (
Orange is the New Black;
Pose) has joined the cast of Warner Bros.' highly anticipated
The Batman in an undisclosed role.
There isn't much else to go on, but considering his casting warranted reporting, it seems that he may have a relatively important part to play in the Caped Crusader's next theatrical outing.
He joins a cast headlined by Robert Pattinson (
The Lighthouse), who will star as the titular Dark Knight, with an all-star supporting cast that will feature Golden Globe-winner Jeffrey Wright (
Westworld) as Commissioner James Gordon, Zoë Kravitz (
Big Little Lies) as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Golden Globe-nominee Paul Dano (
There Will Be Blood) as Edward Nashton/The Riddler, Golden Globe-nominee Andy Serkis (
Black Panther) as Alfred Pennyworth, Golden Globe-winner Colin Farrell (
The Gentleman) as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, newcomer Jayme Lawson as Bella Reál, 2x Golden Globe-nominee John Turturro (
The Night Of) as Carmine Falcone and Golden Globe-nominee Peter Sarsgaard (
Green Lantern) as Gil Colson.
Plot details are being kept locked away at Arkham Asylum for now, but the film is rumored to be a loose adaptation of the popular DC Comics Batman stories
The Long Halloween and
Year One.
Matt Reeves (
War for the Planet of the Apes) is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Mattson Tomlin (
Little Fish). Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Greig Fraser will be behind the camera.
The Batman hits theaters June 25, 2021.
