According to The Hollywood Reporter, Josh Pence ("The Social Network") has joined the cast of Christopher Nolans' "The Dark Knight Rises."
Pence, who
played Tyler Winklevoss in "The Social Network" (and had Armie Hammer's face digitally painted over his for the final movie), will be a young Ra's Al Ghul.
Ra's Al Ghul was played by Liam Neeson in "Batman Begins" and The Hollywood Reporter quotes sources saying Pence will play the character some 30 years in the past.
Little is known about the plot for "The Dark Knight Rises" only that Anne Hathaway ("Love and Other Drugs") is joining the cast as Selina Kyle and her criminal alter-ego, Catwoman, and Tom Hardy ("Inception") will be the dangerous Bane.
Along with Hardy, his "Inception" co-stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard are also new additions to the Batman franchise
Nolan has said in the past he considers his run to be complete at the conclusion of the third film and Pence's casting as a young Ra's seems to confirm that "The Dark Knight Rises" will come full circle to tie everything together.
