The potential main villain for THE BATMAN 2
Matt Reeves confirmed to SFX magazine that "we're now finalizing the script for 'The Batman Part II' and that "the plan is to start filming next year." Warner Bros. announced earlier this year that the release of the sequel starring Robert Pattinson was being pushed back a full year, from October 3, 2025 to October 2, 2026.
"Colin [Farrell] is going to be a part of the movie," Reeves said of the Penguin's return. "We've shared [the script] while we're working with DC and the studio and they're super excited."
The universe of “The Batman” will expand with the upcoming Farrell-directed television series “The Penguin,” which Reeves said will be the “entry point” into “The Batman 2,” adding, “There are details that actually tie into the way the next movie starts, and the way Oz enters that world as we hand the baton back to Batman, and Batman is on another case.”
