Michael Keaton is better known for playing the role of Bruce Wayne in Tim Burton’s smash hit Batman, delivering a pretty good performance as the Capped Crusader in Burton’s 1989 blockbuster. He also proved he could shine in comedies like 2014 Birdman, playing a great role as a struggling actor who had famously played a superhero before…

The actor also starred in Disney’s blockbuster Need for Speed, which is based on the video game series of the same name. Need for Speed is one of the most popular game franchises in the world, and the movie was also popular with audiences, being one of the top-grossing video game films to date. Keaton wasn’t half-bad as the devious entrepreneur Monarch, the man who organizes the movie’s big race for fun and profit, helping turn Disney’s movie into a commercial (but as expected, not critical) success.
