Justin Timberlake wants to play the villain in Batman flick

Justin Timberlake, one of the most prominent singers of the world and also an actor, has expressed a wish that he wants to be cast in a Batman movie but not as the famous superhero. He would rather like to play the weird villain in the movie.

The popstar told at a radio show, “Not a chance in hell. I ain’t playing Robin. I have no aspiration to ever be a superhero in a movie.” He added, “Now, a villain! I’ll tell you the villain I want to play more than anything because I grew up loving Batman, funnily enough, is the Riddler. The Riddler is my favorite villain. The Riddler was like a sociopath. He was proper crazy. So if I’m gonna play crazy, I’m wanna play proper crazy.” Last time the character of The Riddler was played by Jim Carrey in 1995’s Batman Forever while Val Kilmer was cast as the crusader. Praising Ben Affleck, the chosen actor for Batman’s character in the new film, Timberlake said, “I think he’s an extreme talent, so he could surprise a lot of people.” In Runner, Runner, to be premiered in October, Timberlake will be seen alongside Affleck.
