Westworld star Jeffrey Wright was recently confirmed to be playing Batman's longtime ally Commissioner Gordon -- previously portrayed by actor J.K. Simmons in 2017's Justice League -- in director Matt Reeves' The Batman. Wright -- who still star alongside the latest actor to play the Caped Crusader, Robert Pattinson -- recently shared his thoughts on his trip to the world of the Dark Knight as production on the film begins.
On his personal Twitter account, Wright shared a tweet that summed up the aforementioned trip in only a few words. "Woke up jet lagged at 10 p.m. thinking I was late," Wright stated. "4:45 a.m. now. Off to Gotham."Â Appropriately enough, Wright ended the tweet with a bat emoji.
As of right now, there are currently no details regarding the plot of the film. However, it is known that it will feature other Batman characters such as Catwoman and the Penguin, played by Zoë Kravitz and Colin Farrell, respectively. The film is also planned to generate villain-centric spinoffs, should it be successful.
Directed and co-written by Matt Reeves, The Batman stars Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Jayme Lawson and Peter Sarsgaard. The film arrives June 25, 2021.
