THE BATMAN PART 2 Finally Begins Filming in Spring 2026


Listen Later

The production start for The Batman - Part II has been delayed and is now scheduled to begin in Spring 2026. This delay has pushed the film's theatrical release date back a full year from October 2025 to October 2, 2026.

Key details from the article include:

  • Reason for Delay: The primary cause for the production shift is the impact of the 2023 Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes, which disrupted the scriptwriting and pre-production schedule. Director Matt Reeves is reportedly still working on the script.
  • Returning Cast and Crew: Matt Reeves is confirmed to return as director, and Robert Pattinson will reprise his role as Batman/Bruce Wayne. Other cast members like Zoë Kravitz (Catwoman), Andy Serkis (Alfred), and Jeffrey Wright (Jim Gordon) are also expected to return.
  • Plot: Story details remain secret, but there is speculation that Barry Keoghan's Joker, who appeared at the end of the first film, could play a role.
  • DCU Context: The film remains an "Elseworlds" project, meaning it exists in its own universe and is separate from the main DC Universe being developed by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
  • Connecting Spin-off: The upcoming Max series The Penguin, starring Colin Farrell, will serve as a bridge between the first and second films and is set to release in late 2024.
