Johnny Depp Talks Riddler

By Josh Tyler: 2008-09-01 17:22:12

Johnny Depp has been out talking about the fake rumors pegging him as the new Riddler in the sequel to The Dark Knight.

DarkHorizons caught him talking to a radio show, where he confirmed again what we already know but nobody seems to be able to get through their heads. There is no sequel yet folks. When asked if the movie is being cast yet Depp says, “Not that I know of.” It isn’t being cast, it doesn’t have a director, and Johnny Depp hasn’t been hired or talked to about being in it. It seems like I can’t say that enough, since people keep insisting that the contrary is true.

However, Johnny Depp as the Riddler is at least actually a good idea, unlike some of the other false casting rumors which have been floating around. Example: Mickey Rooney as Riddler. No really, people actually believed that. If they do make a sequel to The Dark Knight and if that sequel does indeed include the Riddler, I can’t think of anyone better for the role than Depp. Johnny’s interest in doing it though, is hard to gauge. When asked if he’d be up for it he said, “It seems like it'd be a fun gig for a while, yeah.”

I'd personally like to see him take Heath's place in the role of the Joker. I can't think of a better person to follow him up in that role. As for the Riddler, there are others who could step into that role and make it there own. I simply cannot imagine anybody but Johnny Depp being able to follow Heath's incredible depiction of the Joker.

I dunno, Johnny Depp as the Riddler? I don't see it. Maybe Robin Williams, but not Johnny Depp.

Just a rumour for now, but it could be something he talked about over lunch with Chris Nolan, which makes it really unoffical, but that doesnt mean the conversation didnt happen. I think especially since Depp stepped in to help on Parnassus to cover for Heath, theres a connection there that might draw Depp.
I say kudos to Nolan so far for coming up with some brilliant, inspired casting, Depp would be another inspired choice.
Now if only we could talk him into Angelina Jolie for Catwoman.
