Los Angeles [US], April 7 : American actor and filmmaker Danny DeVito said that he would not mind reprising his Batman role alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in a new movie, reported People.

He noted that they are "planning to work together again."

After discussing his opinions, DeVitowho portrayed The Penguin in the 1992 film 'Batman Returns', spoke about the likelihood that he and Schwarzenegger, who played the villain Mr Freeze in the 1997 film 'Batman & Robin', might cross paths again in a future Gotham City superhero film.

"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 said, before jokingly adding, "Go tell [co-chair and CEO of Warner Bros] Pam Abdi to do that. And [MGM chairman] Mike DeLuca."

Known for his prosthetic nose, pointed teeth, and strikingly fair skin, DeVito played the antagonist in Tim Burton's Batman movie, starring opposite Michael Keaton as the superhero.

In 'Batman & Robin', Schwarzenegger played scientist Victor Fries, who had an accident and turned into the villain Mr Freeze. He played Batman alongside George Clooney in that movie.

Despite their villainous roles in the Batman movies, DeVito and Schwarzenegger who also famously co-starred in 1998 movie Twins are great friends in real life.

Still, the Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor shared that there are "two things" that make the friends differ.

"I don't work out like him, so he wants me to pump a little bit," DeVito shared adding, "And he likes dessert and I am trying to stay away from dessert."

He continued of his friend, "He eats dessert, but he works out all the time so he's always in great shape."

At the Hulu and Disney+ event, DeVito was accompanied by a number of celebrities, including Kris Jenner, Awkwafina, Julianne Hough, Tom Hiddleston, Stephanie Beatriz, Tyler James Williams, and Sheryl Lee Ralph.

Hayley Erbert also made her first red carpet appearance since she underwent an emergency craniectomy four months ago. The 'So You Think You Can Dance' fame wore a white puff-sleeve dress that featured elegant floral detailing to the event, while her husband Derek Hough complemented her look in a light blue suit, reported People.
