Christopher Nolan has dismissed recent rumours that unseen footage of Heath Ledger is to feature in The Dark Knight Rises.
A New Zealand website had alleged that the director was considering whether to include unused scenes from Ledger's turn as The Joker from The Dark Knight in the new Batman film.
However, Nolan and producer wife Emma Thomas shot down the reports at an awards season party for their Oscar contender Inception
Thomas told The Hollywood Reporter: "I heard the rumour. We're not doing that."
The couple again denied that Ledger would appear in the film at all and expressed a desire for his performance as the manic villain to remain confined to the 2008 film.
Nolan recently reiterated that The Dark Knight Rises will be his last Batman picture.
