The future of "Batman 3" is still up in the air, but Johnny Depp has opened door to possibility of him joining the cast as the Riddler. During an interview with MTV in promoting his forthcoming "Public Enemies", the Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of Caribbean" trilogy states that he is willing to take the role of the puzzle-hurling villain.
When asked about the likelihood of him portraying the baddie, the 46-year-old simply says, "If the opportunity came, I'd definitely juggle it." He adds by confessing his admiration to both the character and Frank Gorshin, the actor playing the baddie in the '60s-era TV show. "I always liked the Riddler," he explains. "I always liked Frank Gorshin. Frank Gorshin was brilliant. I always thought he was a great actor."
Whereas Depp gives a thumb up for the Riddler, his co-star in "Public Enemies" and the two-time Batman depicter, Christian Bale,

Last summer, when all systems were go for a third Batman movie - in spite of the fact that all systems actually were not even be discussed - Johnny Depp emerged as the hot choice to play The Riddler. You remember that, right? Depp would wear question marks and Angelina Jolie was stalking Christopher Nolan to make her Catwoman, except none of it was supported by any facts whatsoever?

Now MTV has asked Depp about playing the Batvillain and he seems open to the possibility. Of course, Depp's pricetag makes him consider just about any serious offer, I'm guessing. "It seems that it would be alright. I always liked the Riddler," said Depp. "I always liked Frank Gorshin (who famously played the role on TV 40 years ago). Frank Gorshin was brilliant, I always thought he was a great actor."
"If the opportunity came, I would definitely juggle it," Depp confirmed.
