MUMBAI: Mariah Carey is in talks to join the voice cast of the upcoming ‘The Lego Batman Movie’, which is a spin-off to 2014’s ‘The Lego Movie’.
Initial reports indicated that the 45-year-old Grammy winning singer was on board to voice Commissioner Gordon, but this does not seem to be the case. Carey will voice the ‘Mayor of Gotham’ City, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
