Jeffrey Wright has confirmed his return to ‘The Batman’ franchise as Gotham City police officer James Gordon.
Speaking to Den of Geek, the 59-year-old actor shared that he has not read the script yet, but he has “heard” a few things about the upcoming superhero sequel.
“I’m liking what I’m hearing. And I have huge respect for Matt’s Gotham-building skills,” confessed Jeffery.
“So I’m excited to jump in there and read what he has, which I’m sure will be rich and satisfying to play, and ideally for audiences to take in as well,” he added.
For those unversed, ‘The Batman Part II’ is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 1, 2027
Along with Jeffery, Robert Pattinson is all set to reprise her role in the franchise as Bruce Wayne/Batman.
