He is finally interested in something. Edward Norton would like to play a role in the next Batman 3. The role will be something Christopher Nolan should look into. Edward Norton can really change the tide of the whole franchise if he gets a chance. He is really that good.
The Joker will not be seen in the next Dark Knight. So the new villains will be encroaching into Batmanâs space. Edward Norton had just recently gotten out of a film that didnât really need his expertise. The silly Avengers franchise has already the recast the role of The Hulk with Mark Ruffalo.
Norton had this to say about his departure.
âIt was a great privilege to do it, and I couldnât be more appreciative of everybodyâs support and positivity towards that because I love those films too. And I hate it when they miss. I hate it when they miss on one â it seems like such a wasted opportunity. But the truth is Iâm probably more naturally interested in doing something that I havenât done. I have only good thoughts towards that though.â
Edward Norton also lavished some praise on Christopher Nolan as well.
âChris Nolanâs making the best [comic book films] out there by far. Iâd do one with him. Heâs set a new bar for sure, and I think heâs done a great, great job. [Playing a villain] would be fun, I would not say no to that.â
Batman is still set on a date and will be out in theaters in July of 2012.
