Matt Reeves has confirmed Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon for The Batman.

Matt Reeves has taken to Twitter to reveal that Jeffrey Wright has officially signed on to play Commissioner Gordon in The Batman. Late last month, it was revealed that Jeffrey Wright was in talks to play Commissioner Gordon opposite Robert Pattinson in The Batman and now it seems the actor has officially closed his deal. Each time an actor signs on for The Batman, Matt Reeves posts a GIF of the actor confirming them for the film. This time he’s finally confirming Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon.

You can check out his tweet below:

Jeffrey Wright will join a long line of actors to play Commissioner Gordon and will be the first person of color in the role. Commissioner Gordon has been played by prolific actors like Gary Oldman and on television with Ben McKenzie. Jeffrey Wright is quite possibly the best man to take the Commissioner Gordon mantle and I can’t wait to see what he and Matt Reeves do on The Batman.

Full plot details for The Batman are currently under wraps, though the film will center around a younger Bruce Wayne and features a Rogues’ Gallery of villains that includes Catwoman, The Penguin, and The Riddler. The Matt Reeves film will follow Batman during his formative years as Gotham City’s protector and will make use of the Dark Knight’s detective skills to a greater extent than previous DC films. It is expected to be the first chapter in a new trilogy with Robert Pattinson as Batman.

Directed by Matt Reeves from a script he co-wrote with Mattson Tomlin, The Batman stars Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, and Paul Dano as the Riddler. Westworld star Jeffrey Wright was recently reported to be in talks for the role of Commissioner James Gordon.

The Batman will be released in theaters on June 25, 2021. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for more updates on Matt Reeves, Jeffrey Wright, Commissioner Gordon and The Batman as we learn it!
