Elsewhere on the casting front, GWW ran another report stating that Giancarlo Eposito (Breaking Bad, Westworld), and Jamie Foxx (Django Unchained, Baby Driver) were both being eyed to fill a role in The Batman. The report didn't mention what role that may be, and given the sheer array of characters available, it's difficult to speculate what that role could be.

The report only mentions that it's a "major" part in the story, and options Riddler as a potential candidate. One thing worth bearing in mind though is that this story emerged a whole month before Jonah Hill came into the picture, so it might be possible Nygma is now off the table.

Either way, it goes without saying how Esposito or Foxx could benefit The Batman. Both are supremely talented figures who could do plenty of parts justice - whether they're good or evil.
