Josh Pence, a guy I can guarantee you won't have heard of but WILL have seen him in a film (kind of anyway... he was the guy who had his head digitally replaced by Armie Hammer In The Social Network as both Winklevoss twins... talk about an unenviable job!!) - has just joined the cast of
The Dark Knight Rises.
The Hollywood Reporter say he will play a young Ra's Al Ghul in a '30 years earlier' flashback, which of course is a link to
Batman Begins that all but confirms
what we have been hearing for months... and that there's a role for Talia, Ra's daughter, in the new movie and that she will be portrayed
by Marion Cotillard. The trades also mention, I think for the first time, that
Morgan Freeman (as Lucius Fox) is definitely back for a third outing. With Ra's now seemingly confirmed for the new movie... is the path being paved for
Liam Neeson to make an appearance? And do we want him too? Or will they just stick Neeson's face on Pence digitally... (joke).
