Andy Serkis is reportedly set to play a role in Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman.
Batman on Film reports the rumour, detailing that Serkis has been cast in an unspecified non-motion-capture role. That means we’ll actually be seeing Serkis’ physical face and form in the movie, which potentially rules out some of Batman’s more monster-like foes that would likely be rendered in CGI, such as Clayface.
Serkis and Reeves have a professional history, with the pair working together on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes. Reeves directed Serkis’ performance as Ceasar in both films.
