Michael Keaton has confirmed that he’ll be playing the role of the villain in director Tim Burton’s live-action version of Dumbo.
In an interview this week with Good Morning America about Spider-Man: Homecoming, Keaton said of Dumbo, “I am reuniting with Tim Burton.”
Keaton said in 2014 that he and Burton had talked about the potential sequel; and Burton’s Dark Shadows screenwriter has reportedly completed the script.
Cast as a villain once again in the film after playing the Vulture opposite Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, Keaton joked, “It’s gettin’ old.”
