In a recent interview with MTV, Eckhart revealed that he knows for a fact that Two-Face will not be returning for The Dark Knight Rises (I told you all he was actually dead!). You can check out the video of the interview at the link above, but here’s what Eckhart had to say:
“Chris and I had a meeting, on the beach, just the two of us,” Eckhart told MTV News at the red carpet premiere of his new film, “Rabbit Hole.” “I said, ‘Chris, a lot of people are asking me if I’m in the next ‘Batman.’ And Chris said, ‘Yes?’ I said, ‘Am I?’ He looked at me and he said, ‘No.'”
“We found ourselves alone on the beach together on a stormy day and he delivered the news to me,” said Eckhart. “I was heartbroken. But Chris has his reasons and my life must go on.”
“Honestly, it was Heath’s movie to go on,” he added. “We had a great movie. I’m so honored to be a part of that movie. I know Chris has got something in store that is going to blow everybody away.”
So there you have it Two-Face fans! Dent will not be returning for revenge on Batman or anything of the sort for the third installment – but, where that many of you really expecting him to? . . .
