The Batman Part II Writer Praises Matt Reeves, Shares Exciting Update on Sequel

The Batman Part II recently received an exciting update from screenwriter Mattson Tomlin. In an interview, Tomlin discussed when the film will shoot and how director Matt Reeves continues to raise expectations for the sequel.

“It’s shooting next year. We’re gearing up, and I will say that the bar just couldn’t be higher. It’s the sequel to the first one,” Tomlin told Screen Rant.

“But also, Matt [Reeves] is like no other. In the five years now that I’ve been working with him as closely as I have, I’ve tried to absorb as much as humanly possible from him, and I’m so grateful for the time that I get to spend with him, because he is a true artist who is operating in a world where sometimes art doesn’t get to flourish, and he’s trying to make something that really matters. So to be able to just be on the ride and be part of that process, it’s pretty unbelievable, pretty tremendous. I’m psyched for the movie.”

What to Expect in The Batman Part II?

Much of the plot details in The Batman Part II are under wraps. Filming is scheduled to begin in England in 2025.

Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman is the only confirmed cast member returning for The Batman Part II. In The Batman, Bruce fights to end corruption in his second year as the masked vigilante.
