While there has been no official announcement with a press statement accepting that the actor has been chosen for The Penguin's role, the actor hasn't denied congratulatory messages either. The actor has been active even after the tweet was posted.
Obviously, we'll have to wait and watch what's in store for the DC movie, but it does seem like an interesting pick for the role.
As for now, all we know is that director Matt Reeves will begin filming the Batman movie featuring Ben Affleck once he wraps up his duty with War for the Planet of the Apes.
