While director Christopher Nolan’s future with the Batman franchise is very much up in the air, speculation surrounding a follow-up to last year’s “The Dark Knight” continues unabated. One persistent rumor – perhaps fan-created – is the possibility of Johnny Depp joining the cast as the Riddler.

When MTV News caught up with the actor while he was promoting his upcoming Michael Mann film “Public Enemies,” Depp he addressed the rumors and told them how he feels about the possibility of playing the Riddler.
