Yes! Joe Manganiello to star in ‘Batman’ movie

AP

Magic Mike hunk Joe Manganiello is donning more clothes in his next movie.

Sofia Vergara’s husband is set to play Deathstroke, aka Batman’s nemesis, in an upcoming movie directed by Ben Affleck.

Is it “Justice League,” currently filming?

Not sure. All we know is DC Comics Entertainment exec Geoff Johns confirmed the fab news to the Wall Street Journal.

Joe tweeted ominously: “It’s on.”

Also — will his handsome face be covered up? Like Batman, Deathstroke wears a mask.

His alter ego, at least — Slade Wilson — will not.

This is not the True Blood star first stop at the rodeo.

Manganiello played Flash Thompson, in 2002’s “Spider-Man.”

Can’t wait to see his workout routines, maybe in South Florida.

The actor wed Sofia Vergara at the Breakers in Palm Beach last year.

The “Modern Family” star was rumored to be pregnant last month.
