DeVito — who played The Penguin in the 1992 movieBatman Returns —then shared his thoughts on the possibility that he and Schwarzenegger, who starred as the villain Mr. Freeze in 1997’sBatman & Robin,might reunite onscreen in a future movie about the Gotham City superhero.
“Oh, I don’t know. I don’t think it’s a bad idea because you got Keaton, you got [Schwarzenegger], you got DeVito. We could do those same parts. Yeah, why not?” he told PEOPLE, before jokingly adding, “Go tell [co-chair and CEO of Warner Bros] Pam Abdi to do that. And [MGM chairman] Mike DeLuca.”
