Filming on Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated sequel to last year’s “The Batman” is set to kick off on November 23rd.
That news hails from executive producer Michael Uslan who revealed it in an Instagram post today. Uslan has worked on multiple Batman-related projects in the past including “Joker,” “The Dark Knight” and Reeves’ “The Batman”.
As “The Batman: Part II” isn’t planned to be released until October 3rd 2025, the date gives the project plenty of time to film everything required. The first film famously had multiple stops and starts as it kicked off its shoot just as the pandemic got underway.
Details about the new film remain unknown beyond Robert Pattinson set to return as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The first film did hint at the Joker, whilst a highly viewed deleted scene online showcased actor Barry Keoghan offering an interpretation of that role.
Other likely returnees include Jeffrey Wright as GCPD’s James Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth and Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin. Paul Dano and Zoe Kravitz had major roles in the first but it’s not clear if they’ll return in major ways in the second despite both their characters surviving the events of the first film.
Farrell has just begun filming “The Penguin” spin-off series in New York with that project, set between the two films, to shoot over the next few months.
