Actor Caine confirms the rumor about Depp being in the next Batman movie but mentions the source as a WB executive?
That report completely flies in the face of WB's denial that Depp is attached in any way to a Batman sequel and their claim that they don't even know that there will be another Batman movie (though that last bit has to be a bit disingenuous because, given the huge boxoffice for
The Dark Knight, it's almost impossible to imagine there won't be) along with Depp's own admission that he's never been asked. But who knows? Michael Caine could just be stirring up the rumor mill as a bit of fun, which would not be out of the question given things he's done in the past. Or the WB's dream cast for the next film could actually include Depp, but they just haven't asked him because they have no script yet...
