Matt Reeves Confirms The Batman: Part II Cast, Including Scarlett Johansson

"Johansson has been attached to the project since late last year, but Reeves confirmed it by posting a gif of the actress in Under the Skin. That might be a bit of a character hint, as the clip sees the former Marvel star looking not unlike Gilda Dent, a character she's been rumored to be portraying in sequel. Gilda is the wife of Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, who is being played by Johansson's fellow Avenger, Sebastian Stan."

"Beginning on Wednesday, May 13th, Reeves has been posting gifs confirming his cast for The Batman: Part II. Returning cast members include Robert Pattinson (Batman/Bruce Wayne), Andy Serkis (Alfred Pennyworth), Jeffrey Wright (James Gordon), Colin Farrell (The Penguin), Jayme Lawson (Mayor Bella Reál, and Gil Perez-Abraham (Officer Martinez). Notably absent from the returning list is Zoë Kravitz, though it's long been known she was unlikely to reprise her role of Catwoman in Part II."

"After years of delays due to the 2023 union strikes and Reeves finalizing the script, The Batman: Part II is scheduled to begin filming in June in England. Earlier this month, Reeves also shared images of camera tests showing the Batmobile driving through snow and an explosion. The movie is currently set for release on October 1st, 2027."

"In the comics ( spoiler), Gilda eventually becomes the serial killer Holiday in one of the most celebrated Batman stories, The Long Halloween. Gilda is the wife of Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, who is being played by Johansson's fellow Avenger, Sebastian Stan."

Scarlett Johansson has been officially confirmed as part of the cast for The Batman: Part II. The confirmation came through a social media post featuring a gif from Under the Skin, which may hint at a role connected to Gilda Dent. Gilda Dent is associated with Harvey Dent and later becomes the serial killer Holiday in The Long Halloween. Returning cast members include Robert Pattinson, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, Jayme Lawson, and Gil Perez-Abraham. Zoë Kravitz is not listed among returning cast members. Filming is scheduled to start in June in England, following delays from the 2023 union strikes and script finalization, with a release set for October 1, 2027.
