Wright, an Emmy and Golden Globe winner, will be a key asset to what is already an intriguing cast that includes Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman/Selina Kyle and Robert Pattinson as Batman/Bruce Wayne. Wright is quite the acclaimed actor, most recently for his work in Westworld.

As for other future projects, Wright will be lending his talented voice to the upcoming Disney+ series What If…? as well as Netflix’s Green Eggs and Ham.

When checking Wright’s Twitter timeline for his own personal announcement, I spied his celebration of the Washington Nationals 2019 World Series win (he is a D.C. native) and a jab at President Pumpkin Spam with the #LockHimUp hashtag.

Fitting for a commissioner! See, he’s already sinking right into his new role. I stan a method actor.
