It appears that he has been cast so I take it the talks went well. I have only seen him in Girl Next Door and Prisoners but I am really excited to get another live action adaptation of Riddler.
Love the casting but I really hope he’s the only villain, or at least the main villain. Really hope its a dramatic mind-fuck Riddler type story. Considering this new Batman is supposedly getting back to the "best detective" angle, what a better adverse force to face than the Riddler.
Dano is fantastic in a movie called “The King” from 2005, I think. Gael Garcia-Bernal is great in it, too.
you should see There Will Be Blood, he was channeling heavy comic book villain vibes in that. I forgot all about that one, but I remember being a big fan. need to revisit.
Paul Dano was also really good in Harry Potter. ...Wait. No. Swiss Army Man, with the guy who played Harry Potter.
Swiss Army Man is one of the most charming odd little films I’ve ever seen. Fall asleep to the soundtrack from time to time still
yeah Paul is great in everything and seems like a chill dude also I love that him and Pattinson are both random and inspired I saw someone call it A24 Batman lol
Dano rules. Kinda was hoping he’d direct again next after how good wildlife was but i’m extremely down for this.
Pattinson, Kravitz and Dano is sending really great vibes to start this casting. Danos performance in there will be blood is the one I keep mentally referencing for the Riddler, the overly intense performance, with a little bit more manic energy will be absolutely incredible.
