The Batman adds twins Max and Charlie Carver to cast
It has already been over a month since the production on Matt Reeves’ The Batman had begun in January, and it looks like Warner Bros. Pictures hasn’t finished its casting with A.V. Club bringing word that Teen Wolf alums Max and Charlie Carver have reportedly been tapped to join the Robert Pattinson-led DC film. The identical twin brothers’ characters are being kept under wraps but their participation is being described as “sizable roles.”
The Carver twins made their acting debut in ABC’s hit drama series Desperate Housewives, portraying the roles of Preston and Porter Scavo. They went on to join the last three seasons of MTV’s Teen Wolf and the first season of HBO’s award-winning series The Leftovers.

Starring alongside Robert Pattinson’s Batman/Bruce Wayne is Zoë Kravitz (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Mad Max: Fury Road) as Selina Kyle; Paul Dano (Love & Mercy, 12 Years a Slave) as Edward Nashton; Jeffrey Wright (the Hunger Games films) as the GCPD’s James Gordon; John Turturro (the Transformers films) as Carmine Falcone; Peter Sarsgaard (The Magnificent Seven, Black Mass) as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson; Jayme Lawson (Farewell Amor) as mayoral candidate Bella Reál; with Andy Serkis (the Planet of the Apes films, Black Panther) as Alfred; and Colin Farrell (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Dumbo) as Oswald Cobblepot.
Reeves and Dylan Clark (the Planet of the Apes films) are producing the film, with Simon Emanuel, Michael E. Uslan, Walter Hamada and Chantal Nong Vo serving as executive producers.
Plot details are still being kept under wraps but The Batman is reportedly set to explore the Dark Knight’s younger years with Reeves further hinting at the film’s connection to the iconic comic book story arc “Year One” by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli which was published in 1987.
