Some Rumors For Dark Knight Sequel And Captain America: UPDATE

UPDATE: Aint It Cool News has debunked the Will Smith rumor, and AICN head man Harry Knowles had this to say

Marvel never offered the part, nor did they approach or entertain a conversation about Will Smith for CAPTAIN AMERICA. That said - I'm sure they have a few parts that they'd like him for, just not Captain America.

Now, as for the Batman rumor, it is still is just that...a rumor. No new updates on that front. But thank Harry and the gang at AICN for knocking the Will Smith rumor to the ground.

A few interesting rumors made a buzz on the internet today, one of which Michael Caine spoke in a recent interview with MTV about the possibility of casting choices for a sequel to this summer's biggest money making film The Dark Knight. In the interview, Caine states

“When Christopher [Nolan] said we were going to do ‘The Dark Knight’ next, I didn’t what that meant in Batman terms,” related Caine, who plays Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. “I said, ‘What’s the story?’ and he said The Joker. I said, ‘Oh, s–t! How are you going to top Jack [Nicholson]?’ He said, ‘Well, I’ve cast Heath Ledger. And I went ‘Ha! I couldn’t top Jack, but if anyone could, maybe Heath could.’ And he did. “I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, ‘Are we going to make another one?’ They said yeah. I said, ‘How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says ‘I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.’ I said, ‘S–t, they’ve done it again!’” [Laughs]

Now remember people, this is simply a rumor at this point. There has been NOTHING official from Warner Bros. as of yet. You can read the rest of the interview HERE!

The other rumor was the possible casting for Captain America. The big talk at this time is that the part of Steve Rogers has been offered to the one-and-only Will Smith!

This comes from actor Derek Luke, who stars in the upcoming Spike Lee film Miracle at St. Anna. And once again, this is a rumor as there may be NOTHING said about the official casting of this role for another year or so. You can click HERE to read the entire article.

So there you have it gang, a lesson to be learned. NEVER pay much attention to actors. After all, their full-time job is to lie! (I kid gang, because I love)
