There are plenty of superhero movies coming down the pipe in the next few years, but few have as much anticipation behind them as The Batman Part II. The sequel to the 2022 Batman film has been in development limbo for years now, but things have finally moved forward in the last week, with director Matt Reeves confirming that cameras are now rolling on the DC sequel. In addition to all the returning stars, Reeves has recruited some big stars from the other side of the superhero aisle to join his DC sequel, such as Sebastian Stan and Scarlett Johansson. The duo is best known for their work starring as Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanoff respectively in the MCU. Game of Thrones veteran Charles Dance has also joined the cast of The Batman Part II, which is coming to theaters on October 1, 2027.
While there are obvious names, like Robert Pattinson and Andy Serkis, who are returning for another bout as Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth, another key Gotham figure is stepping into a larger role in The Batman Part II. Jeffrey Wright will star in the film as Jim Gordon, who many are expecting will have been promoted to the police commissioner from his previous rank as detective. Wright took to his personal Instagram yesterday afternoon to share a new image of himself from the set of The Batman Part II, confirming that this next version of Jim Gordon will once again feature his iconic mustache. Look back as far as you want in DC history and through projects in all mediums, Jim Gordon has always had his mustache as long as he’s been around, and Reeves isn’t steering away from the classic design now.
Who Is the Villain of ‘The Batman Part II’?
Director Matt Reeves has yet to officially reveal who will play the featured villain in The Batman Part II. Fans and numerous reputable reports have speculated that Sebastian Stan’s Harvey Dent will be the primary antagonist, but it’s yet to be confirmed if this is even who he’s playing. It’s more likely that The Batman Part II will feature multiple antagonists, similar to the first part, which put Paul Dano’s Riddler at the front of the evil ensemble along with Colin Farrell‘s Penguin and John Turturro‘s Carmine Falcone. Brian Tyree Henry has also been cast in a key role in The Batman Part II, but it’s undisclosed who he will play.
