Juno Temple Playing Harley Quinn Rumor Resurfaces

This has been mulling around ever since the British actress was initially listed as a possible addition to the cast of The Dark Knight Rises. Yet there is another go at the previous rumor that Juno Temple might very well end up playing Harley Quinn, best known as The Joker's lover/sidekick.

Jeff from ShowBlitz (Variety) says he heard the rumor again and reported it on his Twitter account. Of course it could be people rehashing old rumors but it very well could be legit as well. Knowing Nolan he more than likely would be throwing in as many rouges and characters as he can fit. Quinn seems a likely go between villain, since we won't be seeing Joker. Little known fact, Harley was created from the animated show and not the comic books.

100% RUMOR, no confirmation: Overheard at lunch in Beverly Hills - JUNO TEMPLE may be playing HARLEY QUINN in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Joesph Gordon-Levitt & Marion Cotillard Confirmed For Dark Knight Rises

Warner Bros. has finally confirmed both Joesph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard for The Dark Knight Rises. The press release also gives us their roles in the film. Joe will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon. Marion will play Miranda Tate a Wayne Enterprises board member.

Juno Temple Confirmed For Dark Knight Rises

Variety has confirmed that Juno Temple (Atonement) has joined The Dark Knight Rises. It's unknown who the up and coming actress will be playing but the role is described as "a street-smart Gotham girl". Previous rumors have suggested Harley Quinn or Robin (Carrie Kelly/Stephanie Brown) but it's likely just a small role. Temple joins Batman newbies Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway and recently confirmed Joesph Gordon-Levitt.

RUMOR: Juno Temple Playing Robin In Dark Knight Rises?

When Juno Temple was initially linked for a role in The Dark Knight Rises most were quick to believe she might be playing Harley Quinn. While that is a possibility AICN is floating the rumor that Juno very well could be up for the role of Carrie Kelly/Stephanie Brown the female Robin.

"When we last saw Barbara “Batgirl” Gordon she was still pretty tiny, so my suspicion is they might be casting something akin to a female Robin."


Robin had been rumored previously when the character had been linked to location scouting. Of course this is just speculation but AICN is known to have insider information. I'm glad all avenues of Dick Grayson have been axed so far. If Robin does make the film I'd rather see an alternative version never seen in the films like Carrie or Stephanie. Carrie Kelly was a character created by Frank Miller and if this is indeed the last Batman film I'd hope to see some of Miller's characters in Dark Knight Rises.

Joesph Gordon-Levitt Confirmed For Dark Knight Rises, Juno Temple Could Also Join

Variety confirms that Joesph Gordon-Levitt (Inception) has been cast in The Dark Knight Rises. His role is unknown at this point but it's been hinted he could be either an ally or enemy of Batman. They also add that Juno Temple (Atonement) is in talks for a supporting role of a street smart Gotham girl. Temple had previously been in the running for the lead in Bryan Singer's Jack The Giant Killer.

Aaron Johnson, Nicholas Hoult & Juno Temple Up For Jack The Giant Killer

HeatVision reports that Bryan Singer is close to casting the leads in Jack The Giant Killer. The three contenders for Jack include Aaron Johnson (Nowhere Boy, Kick-Ass), Nicholas Hoult (About A Boy, Single Man) and newcomer Aneurin Bernard. While Johnson seems the frontrunner Hoult could very well be a decent second choice. It doesn't hurt that he's co-starring in X-Men First Class which Singer is producing. In the running for the Princess is Juno Temple (Atonement, Year One), Lily Collins and Adelaide Kane. Temple is my favorite of the group and is more likely to get the role with her high profile.

The script recently worked on by Christopher McQuarrie (The Wolverine, Usual Suspects) focuses on a princess who is kidnapped, threatening the long-standing peace between humans and giants.  A young farmer is then forced to lead a rescue mission to the giants' kingdom.

Juno Temple Joining Anderson's Three Musketeers?

Juno Temple is one of the many up and coming British actresses. Her recent roles include Atonement, Cracks, Greenberg, Kaboom, The Other Boleyn Girl and Year One. The Hollywood Reporter says the actresses is in talks to take on the role of the Queen of France in Paul W.S. Anderson's Three Musketeers. I'm curious how Warner Bros. and director Doug Liman think they'll be able to compete with Anderson's casting choices.
