Tom Hardy Joins Batman 3

Francisco 36 Comments

Almost everyone who saw Inception this year, said that actor Tom Hardy stole the movie with his great performance and charm on screen. Relatively unkown to the US, you can debate that Inception was his breakthrough performance. Now Hardy will reunite with director Christopher Nolan; he’s been cast in Batman 3.

Deadline reports:

EXCLUSIVE: While Tom Hardy’s plan to play Mad Max in the George Miller-directed Mad Max: Fury Road has hit another delay, the fast-rising Hardy’s in the mix for another big film at Warner Bros. I’m told that Hardy has been set by his Inception director Chris Nolan for a lead role in the next Batman film at Warner Bros. Insiders are keeping the role secret and won’t even say if he’s up for a villain role, but that seems a reasonable assumption.

Everyone was superb in Inception. But Tom Hardy did steal the show. As to what we’ve come to expect from Nolan’s castings, Hardy will now have a role in Batman 3. This is great news. So who will he play? A villain? The Riddler? Debate…

Who do want him to play? You ok with him featured in Batman 3?

    Well Nolan is trying to keep his characters on the dark and realistic path; looking at Hardy shows that he is a very intimidating figure. The Riddler role doesn’t really look suited to him, though I could see him playing a character much like the Black Mask!

    He has shown quite a psychotic side which he performed well in Bronson, he has the right facial structure for the role as Black Mask’s key feature was his face. A character like the crime boss Black Mask would bring in all the elements of Action needed to make the film a hit, while the questions raised by the Riddler will keep the audience gripped with the film — In my eyes, that would be a winning combination!

    Wow, that picture you used looks so different from his character in Inception. But I still recognized him, likely from his Black Hawk Down role.

    Hardy was also superb as a tormented Heathcliff in a British T.V adaptation of Wuthering heights. I’ve every confidence he could play any of the above - Riddler! PLEASE.
    We have been raving about this guy for the last couple of years in the U.K. Nolan has obviously picked up on this also.
