So Jonah Hill will play the Penguin after all?

Could be interesting.

I heard it's down to Jonah Hill and Eddie Redmayne in the running. Two very different styles.

Eddie Redmayne is older (37) than Jonah, but for some reason feels way too young to play the Penguin.

It is just fancasting. My guess is still Jesse Plemons as why they released the Jungle Cruise trailer with Jesse Plemons in it as a vilian in it. Its to show he can play high dollar budget movies.

I personally wouldn't have a problem if it was Jesse Plemons. That's an interesting bit of casting. However, I think for The Batman, they will likely go with a much bigger name. Maybe Plemons will be bigger one day, but I believe they are shopping around for names Jonah Hill and Eddie Redmayne (who both have Oscar noms/wins as well).

He is the villain in the Jungle Cruise movie. That movie will be a billion dollar movie easy.

Hill won't be in the movie, and Redmayne is a better fit for the Riddler, Seth Rogen is reportedly been looked at for the Penguin but no offer has been made. IMO I think Stephen Graham would be a good choice for Penguin

Jonah is out along with the other old guy Seth.It is Jesse now in the lead.

Nope, Hill is out. Redmayne is in the lead!

LOL Michael Cera as Joker.

I read that Hill wanted to play Riddler but Reeves wanted him for Penguin and so it fell apart -obviously dano is a much more traditional looking Riddler

Maybe Hill is sick of playing short portly guy types and was told to bulk up to how he used to be? (probably to do with $$$ too )
