Heath Ledger will not appear in The Dark Knight Rises.
At an awards season party last night for Inception, the filmmaker was asked about a report on a New Zealand website saying that Nolan and Warner Bros. were thinking of inserting unused footage of Ledger as the Joker into the movie. As with anything connected to Batman and Nolan, the rumor spread quickly spread around the globe.
But Nolan and his wife/producing partner Emma Thomas both swatted down the rumor to Heat Vision.
“I heard the rumor,” said Thomas. “We’re not doing that.”
Nolan also denied that Ledger would show up in the new film. The script isn’t even completed yet, he said, and Nolan believes that Ledger’s performance as the Joker should be contained to the 2008 movie.
