Caine: 'No Johnny Depp in new 'Batman'

Rex Features

Michael Caine has denied reports that Johnny Depp has been cast as The Riddler in the follow-up to The Dark Knight.

The actor, who has played butler Alfred Pennyworth in the two films since Christopher Nolan rebooted the series with Batman Begins, told MTV News that the rumours were untrue.

Caine said: "Johnny Depp is great in anything, but there is no Johnny Depp in this Batman. They tell me in no uncertain terms.

"There is nobody, there's no script, there's nothing. It can't possibly be made before 2011 because Inception is such a big picture."

He joked that the producers will no longer tell him anything about the film after his previous comments about the movie.
