James Gunn Provides Update on the Progress of The Batman Part 2 Script Starring Robert Pattinson
When it comes to Batman, what can we really say? Is it a childhood memory, a cultural phenomenon, a fictional universe, or simply an emotion that resonates with teenagers everywhere? The answer is not clear, but one thing is certain – we all want more of it. Which leads us to the burning question – is there a Batman sequel in the works starring the talented actor Robert Pattinson?
Recent rumors about the casting for DCU’s Batman have prompted a response from James Gunn. In a response on the app Threads, Gunn confirmed that the script for the franchise’s second installment is still being worked on. He mentioned that director Matt Reeves is taking his time to ensure everything is perfect.
Why the Delay in The Batman: Part II?
The rumors of the cancellation of Batman: Part II stem from the lack of updates on the status of the film. However, the real reason behind the delay was the 2023 Hollywood strikes that halted production for months. Reeves had to pause his work on the movie’s script due to this unforeseen circumstance.
The film has been pushed back to a 2026 release date, with filming set to start in April 2025. Originally planned for a 2025 release, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see Pattinson in action as the Dark Knight.
Will Robert Pattinson Return for the Sequel?
Despite the delay in the sequel’s release, fans can rest assured that they will see more of The Dark Knight on screen due to the franchise’s loyal fan base.
Fans have eagerly awaited updates ever since news broke about the development of a sequel to The Batman with Robert Pattinson reprising his role as Bruce Wayne. This upcoming film will be part of the DC Elseworlds series, exploring different standalone worlds within the DC universe.
