News The Batman: Part II Matt Reeves Confirms Two Marvel Stars Will Be in The Batman: Part II‘s Cast He also confirms that things are dark — literally! — in Gotham By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 14, 2026 Credit: Warner Bros. Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Warner Bros. Production on The Batman: Part II is underway, and writer-director Matt Reeves has headed to social media to tease who we’ll be seeing on screen. Today, he released a GIF showing the reflection of an enigmatic Scarlett Johansson in a driving car’s rearview mirror. Reeves didn’t add much to the image except to say: “Next exit, Gotham… Welcome,” followed by two bat emojis. Check it out for yourself: Next exit, Gotham… Welcome. pic.twitter.com/d0zSwOT7bm— Matt Reeves (@mattreevesLA) May 14, 2026 Soon after, Reeves gave another Marvel Cinematic Universe alum, Sebastian Stan, his own GIF. In it, Stan, who is rumored to be playing Harvey Dent, looks angry and soaked in some dark place. Reeves gave him two bat emojis as well, with the following sentence: “In a Gotham state of mind… Welcome.” Witness drenched Stan in all his glory: In a Gotham state of mind… Welcome. pic.twitter.com/K3bCD83zCI— Matt Reeves (@mattreevesLA) May 14, 2026 Reeves is confirming rumors we heard this January that Johansson and Stan joined the production. Johansson’s GIF doesn’t give us any details on who she’ll be playing, though my previous spitball guess that she was playing Poison Ivy doesn’t seem to fit the vibe she’s giving off in that car. Reeves also confirmed via GIF that we’ll be seeing Robert Pattinson once again as the Bat, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb/the Penguin, Andy Serkis as Bruce’s Alfred, Jayme Lawson as Gotham Mayor Bella Reál, and Gil Perez-Abraham as Officer Martinez. With production underway, odds are good that the film will meet its current premiere date of October 1, 2027. The details of the story are also under wraps, though we know the script comes from Reeves and Mattson Tomlin, and what we’ll see, according to Reeves, has “never really been done in a movie before.” [end-mark] The post Matt Reeves Confirms Two Marvel Stars Will Be in <i>The Batman: Part II</i>‘s Cast appeared first on Reactor.
