In the least contentious superhero casting of the day, it’s been revealed that Jeremy Irons is Batman’s right hand, resident British badass in Batman vs. Superman. Yes, the man who would be king of the jungle or the papacy has been cast as Alfred Pennyworth, the ultimate ally with debonair flair and who can give the Batmobile repair.
The role of Alfred has been played by many a great actor in the past, including Alan Napier, Michael Gough, and Michael Caine, yet Irons offers the chance to reinvent the part once again for a new generation of fans. An actor who has dominated audiences whether on the stage, on the screen, or even in animated musicals, Irons’ layered, vinyl voice is almost as ubiquitous to his name as his unending versatility. And if his previous work is any indication, fans, old and new, are about to get a new kind of Alfred for the DC Cinematic Universe.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
