But most moviegoers will remember 2016 as the year that Jeremy Irons made his debut as loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth to Ben Affleck’s Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice.
But this is only the beginning for Jeremy Irons in the DC Extended Universe, as he’s had the cast iron guarantee from Ben Affleck himself that he’s going to be much busier in The Batman.
Jeremy Irons has had a rather busy 2016.
Over the last 12 months he’s popped up in High-Rise, Race, The Man Who Knew Infinity, and he’ll round off the year with his performance in Assassin’s Creed as the film’s enigmatic villain, Alan Rikkin.
