Two years have passed since Matt Reeves' 2022 film 'The Batman.' The sequel, 'The Batman Part II,' has faced delays and rumors. Fans are eagerly awaiting updates. DC Studios co-head James Gunn provided a reassuring update.
On his Threads account, Gunn confirmed that there is no cause for concern about the sequel. When asked by a fan if the script for 'The Batman Part II' is being written, Gunn replied, «Yes.» Another fan asked when the script might be ready. Gunn stated that the decision lies with director Reeves, saying, «When Matt thinks it's ready!»
Cast Robert Pattinson will return as Bruce Wayne, The Dark Knight. Jeffrey Wright will reprise his role as Jim Gordon. Like the 2022 film, 'The Batman Part II' will be part of the DC Elseworlds banner, existing in a separate timeline from Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe. This universe has its own Batman film, 'The Brave and the Bold,' in development. Details about the sequel's story remain under wraps. Reeves and Mattson Tomlin are working on the script.
