Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt join the cast of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises

 Potato On-the-Go:

Fans have new reason to get excited for the upcoming last installment of the movie adaptation of one of DC's well loved superheroes... Batman.


Warner Bros. Pictures recently announced that Oscar winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (from the hit movie "500 Days of Summer") have joined the cast of “The Dark Knight Rises,” the epic conclusion to the Dark Knight legend.

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.

The film reunites the actors with Christopher Nolan, who recently directed them in the award-winning blockbuster “Inception.”


The director stated, “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.”

As the play date draws nearer, fans can expect for more revelations on how the characters of Marion and Joe will interface with the Dark Knight.

Heading the cast of “The Dark Knight Rises,” Christian Bale stars as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The main cast also includes Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy as Bane.

Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Christopher Nolan will also produce the film with his longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven.

“The Dark Knight Rises” is slated for release beginning July 20, 2012. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
