Jonah Hill has come a long way from playing Seth in Superbad...

It looks like Robert Pattinson's upcoming Batman movie may have just found another big star.

Sources closed to Variety have told the publication that the two-time Oscar nominee is set to join the cast of The Batman, which will be released in 2021.

According to these sources, producers had long wanted Hill for the project, but casting decisions were put on hold until the role of Batman was filled.

The deal hasn’t closed and sources say it could still fall apart, but both sides are engaging on Hill joining the film.

As for who Hill is playing, that’s still being worked out as well, but sources say he’s being eyed for a villain role. Penguin? The Riddler?

Both sound good to us.

Variety have also claimed that Jeffrey Wright is in line to play Commissioner Gordon, who was played by Gary Oldman in the Christopher Nolan trilogy.

The movie will be directed by Matt Reeves, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes.

Although we're pretty into the casting decisions so far, we'll reserve judgement until The Batman arrives on our screens on on 25 June, 2021.
