While The Batman: Part II was rumored to begin production soon, a recent report suggests filming on the project won’t begin until next year.
According to a recent report from World of Reel, production on the highly anticipated sequel to Matt Reeves’ film has delayed by about four months. This pushes the start window into March 2024.
The film was set to start production in November 2023, but that now seems unlikely. The report mentions no official reason for the delay was given. However, it’s likely related to the ongoing writer’s strike, which has pushed back production on various projects.
Little is known about the plot of The Batman: Part II so far, though Robert Pattinson is set to return as the titular Dark Knight. The first film did tease the Joker and leave the Riddler alive at Arkham, so one or both of these iconic antagonists could make a return.
The first film, The Batman, stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as GCPD’s James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Colin Ferrell as Oswald Cobblepot/ Penguin.
