New
York
(ANI):
Hollywood
actor
Philip
Seymour
Hoffman
has
denied
claims
that
he
will
be
playing
the
villainous
penguin
in
Dark
Knight
sequel.
The
rumours
began
of
him
playing
the
role
began
when
actor
Michael
Caine
told
reporters
at
the
Toronto
film
festival
that
Hoffman
will
be
seen
portraying
the
role
of
'Penguin'
and
Johnny
Depp
as
the
'Riddler'
in
the
sequel.
However,
Philip
denied
the
claims."No
one
has
talked
to
me
about
it
-
never,
It
happened,
like,
five
years
ago,
too.
It's
a
rumour
back
then
and
it''s
still
a
rumour," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
the
actor,
as
telling
MTV.
"I'm
more
a
fan,
so
the
interest
of
being
in
it
isn't
that
great,
it's
more
the
interest
in
wanting
to
see
the
next
one.
It's
probably
better
that
way
...
I
don't
know
if
I'd
make
a
good
Penguin,
to
be
quite
honest," he
added.
Like
Hoffman,
Johnny
Depp
has
also
denied
being
offered
the
role.
