Michael Keaton to Play Villain in Dumbo Film

Michael KeatonOn ABC’s Good Morning America this morning, Michael Keaton confirmed what we’ve been expecting, that he will be play a villain in Tim Burton’s live-action version Disney’s classic film, Dumbo.

They asked him whether or not the rumors were true and he said: “I am reuniting with Tim Burton…You just want to be around that guy, you want to be in his sphere, because he’s original, and unique and an artist.”  Of course Burton and Keaton have a history together having worked together on Beetlejuice and Batman Returns in the past.

I see Michael Keaton being good in the role and think it was a solid choice.  Although we know Michael Keaton’s character will be a “villain” we still don’t know exactly who the character will be in the film.  We’ll have to stay tuned to find out!
