Director Christopher Nolan has added yet another cast member to The Dark Knight Rises, with Daniel Sunjata coming aboard. As is the case with most casting news surrounding The Dark Knight Rises, it isn't known which character Daniel Sunjata will play. It is rumored that Sunjata's character has a pivotal role in the story.

Last week, we reported that Josh Pence has signed onto play a younger version of Ra's Al Ghul. Christopher Nolan seems to have his main cast secured and is rounding out secondary characters for his final Batman adventure as a director.

Christopher Nolan will direct from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. The production will be a worldwide affair, with shooting to take place in the United Kingdom, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and Bucharest.

Daniel Sunjata is best known for his role as Franco Rivera on the FX hit series Rescue Me. He also recently appeared in an arc on the ABC drama Grey's Anatomy.

The Dark Knight Rises comes to theaters July 20th, 2012 and stars Liam Neeson, Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Aidan Gillen, Marion Cotillard. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan.

    @m2 Hmm. This cast is rounding out very nice. For some reason I feel like Nolan could possibly give us a Best Picture nominee out of this one. Yup. I said it.

    @bawnian-dexeus Like I said to Diagma, He might be playing a member of the Falcone crime family, the League of Shadows or even a employee at Wayne Enterprises or a original character all together.

    I have faith that this movie is going to be great and that Nolan knows what he is doing so i guess i have no problem with having yet another actor joining the cast.
