Johnny Depp On Riddler Casting Rumors: "It'd Be A Fun Gig"

The only good thing about those annoying Dark Knight sequel rumors is that it forces the actors on the receiving end to comment about the possibility in the inevitable denial. Our friends at Comic Book Cynic send over word that Johnny Depp has publicly denied rumors that he would be playing The Riddler, while appearing on a radio show. You can listen to the recording on YouTube or read the transcript below:

Host: Hey Johnny, a listener called in earlier said you have to ask about the rumors on the internet of you doing the Riddler.Depp: Oh yeah, I heard about that. Not that I know of.Host: You'd be a good choice.Depp: It seems like it'd be a fun gig for a while, yeah.

So there you have it, Depp confirms he is not the Riddler, but doesn't rule out the possibility. Christopher Nolan, did you hear that?
