Josh Stewart Added To 'The Dark Knight Rises'

Briefly: Given that Christopher Nolan is now shooting The Dark Knight Rises, we probably won't see too many more notable names added to the cast. In fact, this might be the last: Josh Stewart from The Collector and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has taken an unknown role in the film. Like many of the other recent cast announcements, his part may not be significant, but he joins what is looking like an impressive ensemble cast.

So we've got returning actors Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman; Michael Caine as Alfred; Gary Oldman as James Gordon; and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, with newcomers Tom Hardy as Bane; Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle; Juno Temple as a "street-smart Gotham girl;" Josh Pence as young Ra's al Ghul; Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake, "a Gotham City beat cop;" Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate; and Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, Joey King, Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, Daniel Sunjata, Diego Klattenhoff and Burn Gorman. Quite a lineup, and you know we'll keep you posted (possibly in Superhero Bits) with any new pieces of info that come out. [Variety]
