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. Hardy has followed up Inception with lead roles in the Tomas Alfredson-directed adaptation of the John Le Carre novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and he's currently starring with Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon in the McG-directed Fox comedy This Means War. CAA reps Hardy, who's expected to return to Fury Road when it goes

Fuck yeah!

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Cant say I am surprised. Wouldnt surprise me if Leo or JGL joined too just to stay on the Nolan train.

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

Movie of the Forever already

 

[SaintZ]

I am pleased with this news. Love him!

Leo would no way join, JGL is just an inevitability.

I dont think Leo will join, JGL is more likely in my opinion.

 

[badcrumble]

I'm cool with this.

 

[Wes]

Nice!

 

[Xrenity]

 

[Schattenjäger]

Should just go in the batman 3 hype thread

 

[Dead]

This has nothing to do with Inception, Nolan is simply following in McGs footsteps in order to thank him for raising Christian Bales acting credentials in Terminator 4

 

[Cardon]

Excellent. Really love Hardy's work and as sad as I am about the Mad Max delay, at least he'll be in Batman 3.

 

[rollingstart]

I'M SO EXCITED OMG

 

[jett]

Guy Pearce cries in a corner.

 

[chase]

BATMAN ON MY FACE GROWL

 

[LQX]

Whats with Nolan casting so many British actors? Oh well, I guess he likes the fresh faces.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Oh great Batman vs. Shinzon fucking lame

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

Probably because he loves mother England so much.

 

[Jokergrin]

 

[GhostRidah]

Oh hell yes

 

[Salsa]

here comes gaygaf

Nolan sure bonds with actors

 

[the_log_ride]

This news.

Pleases me.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Awesome! I thought he was great in Inception.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

This news.

Pleases me.

 

[Danielsan]

JGL next, then Dicaprio, Ellen Page and boot Bale of the project.
Let's secretly make Batman 3 the sequel to Inception!

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Tom Hardy is truly an excellent actor. Love this choice!

 

[LM4sure]

No surprise. Rumored for quite a while now. I'll now look forward to Batman 3.

 

[Discotheque]

Fuck yeah. Now throw in Guy Pearce already and call it a day.

JGL doesn't belong. And Murphy/Watanabe are sadly out of the equation.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Sweet!

 

[sc0la]

Cant say I am surprised. Wouldnt surprise me if Leo or JGL joined too just to stay on the Nolan train.

Count me in on the JGL train. He was bad ass in inception

 

[methodman]

No surprise. Rumored for quite a while now. I'll now look forward to Batman 3.

Just because of this, you're finally going to look forward to Batman 3? Really?

 

[Plywood]

Should just go in the batman 3 hype thread

New news = new threads

 

[Ephemeris]

No complaints here.

 

[StoOgE]

He would make an awesome Knightwing.

Good way to get a Robin like character in without the silliness of a 14 year old fighting crime.

 

[Hawkian]

He could be the Riddler.

 

[LM4sure]

Just because of this, you're finally going to look forward to Batman 3? Really?

Am I supposed to look forward to it because of Bale's acting?

 

[Medalion]

Shinzon!!!

 

[Discotheque]

And then he'll be back on board for Mad Max when it starts up again. Fuck yeah (that shit better not be cancelled, way more interest in that than even Batman 3 right now).

 

[PhoenixDark]

Hopefully they're replacing Bale with Hardy

 

[lightless_shado]

JGL for Robin

 

[Discotheque]

Armie Hammer for Batman! Dude has a beast voice.

 

[dmshaposv]

inb4 hardy riddler shops.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

As Charles Bronson.

 

[Discotheque]

I remember shitting myself in surprise when I realized that scrawny wimp in the Star Trek movie was Bronson.

 

[Danielsan]

Hopefully they're replacing Bale with Hardy

Now that would be great.

 

[Rindain]

Great news...now bring on a talented, hot actress as Catwoman and I'm set.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Batman: the Brit show :lol

 

[effzee]

Can't we have 1 Batman thread without the anti-Bale BS?

 

[DMczaf]

Attention whores need attention.

 

[Riptwo]

Insert Bronson dance scene here.
