As Matt Reeves The Batman begins to take shape, we are starting to get a glimpse at the cast and crew that is being assembled. Today, we found out two more people who are joining Robert Pattinson's first time at Bat.

First, according to the The Hollywood Reporter, is Westworld standout Jeffery Wright. Jeffery Wright is now donning the iconic mustache and glasses and playing Commissioner Jim Gordon. The role as played by actors like Gary Oldman and most recently by J.K Simmons, is one that is crucial to the Batman mythos and Wright is an exciting addition. 

The second and more surprising addition to the cast is Jonah Hill. Hill, a two-time Academy-Award nominee, is being courted for a mysterious villainous role. Sources in Variety who broke the story say that both Hill's and the producers are hashing out who Hill is playing and have wanted Hill for a long time. 

We are excited to see and cover how this film's cast grows as the film inches closer and closer to production.
