This is a complete no-brainer, BUT…
Via an interview with GQ, Matt Reeves has confirmed that Andy Serkis will reprise his role as Alfred Pennyworth in THE BATMAN: PART II. While the GQ article is actually a feature on Andy Serkis, Reeves was also quoted saying the following about AS…
He is a genius. I remember when I signed on to The Batman, one of the first decisions I made, I said, ‘Andy, I want you to play Alfred, and I want to make it really emotional. Because I want people to see your face – not some avatar – and to understand truly what an incredible actor you are.
Indeed, Andy Serkis is great.
And Reeves also (did not) confirm that Serkis almost played Batman/Bruce Wayne in THE BATMAN via a mo-cap/CGI performance. – Bill “Jett” Ramey
