Jake Gyllenhaal Says Playing Batman ‘Would Be an Honor Always,’ Two Decades After Losing ‘Batman Begins’ Despite Being Co-Writer’s Top Choice


Jake Gyllenhaal says playing Batman would be an honor, two decades after losing the role in Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins."

Making the press rounds in support of his new Amazon Prime Video action movie “Road House,” Gyllenhaal was asked by Screen Rant if he was still interested in playing Batman. Gyllenhaal opened up to Howard Stern in 2021 about the difficulties of acting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, describing it as “a whole different craft.” “Spider-Man: Far From Home” went on to earn more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office, but it remains Gyllenhaal’s only appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far.
