Aside from Robert Pattinson in the titular role, most of the casting details revolving around The Batman are currently under wraps. This has caused many people to speculate about which star will be cast as which character. One of the most often discussed parts is Alfred Pennyworth, who’s been played by icons like Michael Caine, Jeremy Irons and many more over the years.
While there’s still no word on who will take the role next, our sources – the same ones who told us Ewan McGregor would be returning as Obi-Wan, and The Matrix 4 will feature a young Morpheus, both of which have now been confirmed – say that Jared Harris is currently one of several actors on Warner Bros.’ wish list to to portray Bruce Wayne’s butler.
The 57-year-old may seem a little young for some to take on the part, but many feel the same way about Pattinson.
