It's been 27 years since Billy Dee Williams played Harvey Dent in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film, and the actor finally has the chance to star as the character's villainous alter-ego, Two-Face, in the upcoming The LEGO: Batman Movie.
Director Chris McKay confirmed the news via Twitter, where he was asked by a fan if Williams will indeed be voicing the famous Batman villain.
Despite portraying Harvey Dent, Williams never got the chance to step into the role of Two-Face in the Batman sequels that followed. The franchise would eventually change directions with Joel Schumacher at the helm, who recast Tommy Lee Jones as Dent/Two-Face for 1995's Batman Forever.
The LEGO Batman Movie will hit theaters February 20 and, along with Billy Dee Williams, will feature the voice talents of Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Ralph Fiennes, and Rosario Dawson.
It's also been confirmed that Donald Glover will play the young Lando Calrissian, William's most iconic role, in the Han Solo spin-off movie.
