Jeffrey Wright Coy on Whether Gordon Is Commissioner in The Batman

The Batman actor Jeffrey Wright guested on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show this week during which time he insinuated that his character James Gordon might not be the Gotham City Police Commissioner in director Matt Reeves' upcoming franchise reboot. Wright was asked specifically about what his take was on Police Commissioner Gordon to which he replied, with a smile, "I play Gordon. I'll just say that. So, yes, I play Jim Gordon." If Wright's Jim Gordon isn't GCPD Commissioner yet that would be in line with this being a story set early in Batman's career. You may recall that Gary Oldman's Gordon didn't become Commissioner until part way through the second film in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. The Westworld and James Bond franchise veteran went on to explain that he, Reeves, and his fellow actors are striving "to create something together that is our own, but is also Batman.” “This is the next evolution of Gotham," Wright declared. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://ift.tt/3cLTMOc] Wright sang the praises of the film's new Batmobile, which Matt Reeves revealed on Twitter last month. “I read the script for the Batmobile and I was like, 'Yeah, that’s it,'" Wright enthused, saying this film's Batman "created the most badass muscle car you could imagine, but it’s grounded in Gotham. It’s grounded in Americana.” The Batman shut down production in March due to the coronavirus pandemic and there's no word yet when filming will resume. The delay is enough to postpone the film's release from June to October 2021.
