A few weeks back, the Beauty and the Beast star tweeted a photo of Batman villain Penguin without comment, leading many to speculate that he might be up for a role in Ben Affleck’s new solo film — speculation fueled by the fact that DC Films heads Jon Berg and Geoff Johns had recently followed Gad on Twitter.
Look, obviously this doesn’t necessarily mean that Gad is in talks to play the comic book villain in the DC movie universe.
As you can see, he’s holding a copy of Batman Adventures Volume 1, the cover of which features the Penguin.
Gotham City Sirens, the all-female DC villain spinoff featuring Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, is another possibility.
