Lucius Fox Is Coming to GOTHAM
Homeland and The Newsroom actor Chris Chalk has joined the cast of Gotham, and will be taking on the role of Lucius Fox. The character was played by Morgan Freeman in the Christopher Nolan directed Dark Knight trilogy.
The character was created by Len Wien and John Calnan back in 1979, and as you may know, he becomes the CEO of Wayne Enterprises while Bruce Wayne is protecting Gotham City as Batman. Fox also helps Wayne by developing lots of wonderful crimefighting toys.
According to Deadline, Chalk will appear as Fox in Episode 21 of this first season, and he has an option to return for season 2. Fox is a big part of Wayne’s life, so I like that they are going to incorporate the character into the series.
