Thats right, finally we have official confirmation on what characters Joseph Gordon Levitt and Marion Cotillard will be playing in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.
Here is the relevant info from the press release:
Cotillard will appear as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father’s philanthropic endeavors for Gotham.
Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.
Now I don’t remember these characters from the comic book world of Batman and seem to of been created purely for the film but just because Cotillard and Levitt’s characters have been named doesn’t mean that they will not have duel identities, espeically since this this a heavily reoccurring theme from Nolan’s films. Here’s what Nolan had to say about the actors and characters:
When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience. I immediately thought of them for the roles of Miranda and Blake, and I am looking forward to working with both of them again.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is due out July 20th 2012.
