Christian Bale Is Open To A Fourth Batman Movie But Only If Christopher Nolan Is The Director

Christian Bale would play Batman again if Christopher Nolan asked him.

Bale, who played the Caped Crusader in Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, has admitted he would be open to reprising the iconic role if it was the right situation.

Asked by ScreenRant if the offer has even come up from Warner Bros, he said: “No. No one’s ever mentioned it to me. No one’s brought it up. Occasionally people say to me, ‘Oh, I hear you were approached and offered all this.' And I’m like, ‘That’s news to me. No one’s ever said that.'”

“I had a pact with Chris Nolan,” Bale said. “We said, ‘Hey, look. Let’s make three films, if we’re lucky enough to get to do that. And then let’s walk away. Let’s not linger too long.’ In my mind, it would be something if Chris Nolan ever said to himself, ‘You know what, I’ve got another story to tell.’ And if he wished to tell that story with me, I’d be in.”

Bale — who appeared in Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises — recently admitted he still hasn't seen the recent The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson. 

“I still haven’t seen it. I will see it,” Bale told Variety. “Listen, mate, it’s amazing how few films I see. Every director I work with, I’ve seen a couple of their films and they’re always looking at me going, ‘Are you kidding?’ I like to really savor films and I don’t watch too many. But I will, I certainly will.”

The Oscar-winning actor added, “Robert is an absolutely wonderful actor. We bumped into each other, talked a little bit about it ahead of time, and I heard wonderful things.”

Bale will next be seen as Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love and Thunder, opening in cinemas on July 7. — BANG SHOWBIZ
