When Marc Webb was announced as the director shepherding the Spider-Man reboot, many fans hoped he would cast his 500 Days of Summer star Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the role of Peter Parker. Alas, the 29-year-old is a little too old for Sony’s high school hero, but according to our sister site Hollywood Life, Gordon-Levitt may get his chance to play a highly anticipated comic book character after all.
The site is reporting that Gordon-Levitt is the frontrunner to play the Riddler in Christopher Nolan’s next Batman film, owing to the good relationship the two developed while working on Nolan’s Inception:
“Chris really dug Joseph [as an actor],” a source close to the director tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “There was a joke at first between them [on the set of Inception] that Joseph wanted to read for Batman 3 and things heated up as filming continued.”
Adds the insider, “It’s not 100% confirmed that he’s getting [the role of The Riddler] but there’s certainly talk about it. Joseph is definitely on the short list.” This should make fans happy, especially as several fan sites have expressed a wish to see the 500 Days of Summer cutie score the role!
But don’t expect to find out anytime soon whether the 29-year-old actor will actually become The Riddler in reality — the script is still being written!
In other words, don’t let your Expectations/Reality ratio get too out of whack.
