Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell are both in talks to join the cast of The Batman.

Serkis will take on the role of Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s trusted butler, while Farrell looks set to play villain the Penguin.

If both sign on, they’ll be starring alongside Robert Pattinson as Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman and Paul Dano as the Riddler.

The film is being directed by Matt Reeves, who worked with Serkis previously on the Planet of the Apes films.

The film is due to arrive in cinemas in June 2021.
