Ward, who blogged for The Times while he competed on ‘DWTS,’ was kind enough to take time out from his preparations for Saturday’s game against St. Louis to answer a few questions via email about the trailer.

1. Hines Ward in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’? How did that come about?

I was honored when the producer of the movie asked me to be in it. I have always been a Batman fan. So it was a once in a lifetime experience for me.

2. Any other Steelers in the movie?

I really can’t disclose that information. So you will have to go watch the movie to find out. :)

3. I’m sure you were sworn to secrecy regarding the film. Is there anything you can tell us about it at all?

I wish I could. I will just say that it’s going to be a great movie.

4. Which do you prefer, dancing or acting?

Both are a challenge to me. I loved my time on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ I made a lot of great friendships and that show was awesome. I also had a great time doing the movie. So both were great experiences for me.

5. What was your reaction after seeing yourself in the trailer?

It blew me away. I mean to be a part of something that will last forever was amazing. I was truly blessed to be a part of it all.
