Award-winning actors Philip Seymour Hoffman and Johnny Depp are being courted for roles in a sequel to the biggest box office feature ever, The Dark Knight. Sources close to the project tell the National Enquirer that studio heads are hoping to bring Hoffman, who starred in the critically-acclaimed 2006 film Capote, and Depp on-board for a follow-up to this Summer’s Batman epic.

“(Producers) are convinced that the role of the Riddler is perfect for Depp. Johnny’s a pro. He’ll be able to take direction from director Chris Nolan and still make the character his own,” the insider says.
