Andy Serkis is Alfred Pennyworth in “The Batman”

Andy Serkis has recently been confirmed to play the character Alfred Pennyworth in the forthcoming The Batman movie. The director Matt Reeves confirmed the actor would be taking on the role of Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler and confidant.

Andy Serkis is no stranger to the comic book film, having not only played Klaue in Marvel’s Avengers and Black Panther, but also the actor is directing the sequel to the Venom movie.

This follows recent news of Colin Farrell being considered to play The Penguin after Jonah Hill was being considered to being a part of the movie before being removed.

Serkis will star alongside Robert Pattinson as the titular Dark Knight, and alongside Paul Dano as the Riddler and Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman.

More as things develop.
