Further comments on the status of “The Batman: Part II” have emerged from new interviews with filmmaker Matt Reeves during last night’s Emmys red carpet.
As previously reportedly, Reeves recently finished the script for the film alongside co-writer Mattson Tomlin which has been seen by the film’s star Robert Pattinson.
As reported yesterday, Reeves confirmed the project is targeting a late April/early May 2026 shoot.
Now, in new comments with THR, Reeves goes more into the scheedule and his hopes that key aspects of the film won’t be spoiled by the fandom:
“We’re beginning. We’re staffing up. We’re starting to get our crew back together. We’re getting ready. We’re basically entering [pre-production]. We’ll be making the movie in the spring… super excited.
Because of what the first movie was and what [The Batman: Part 2] is, which is so much a detective story, the idea of trying to protect the secrets of the movie is super important because it’s a mystery.
That would be an extra level of heartbreak if that part of it started getting out. You wanna keep the surprise so the fans… can have the fun experience that I always love going to the movies, which was to go and be surprised.”
Reeves also spoke more about Pattinson’s readthrough of the script, adding that the film will take the Caped Crusader in a direction we have not seen on screen before and break new ground for the character:
“He’s Batman, so if he doesn’t like it, not good. So, I was super excited because I thought that he really would [like it] because the things that it does for his character, for Batman, and for [Bruce Wayne] has never been done before in this way. And I had a feeling he would respond in this way, the fact that he did was incredibly encouraging.”
Separately, he confirmed to MTV that Emmy winner Cristin Milioti is not in the film and so won’t be reprising her role of Sofia Falcone in the project.
“The Batman: Part II” is expected to hit cinemas in October 2027.
