Key Points
- The Batman Part II confirms a cast with both returning and new notable actors.
- Sebastian Stan will play Harvey Dent; Scarlett Johansson and Charles Dance join the ensemble.
- Director Matt Reeves and actor Stan promise an ambitious, surprising movie for fans.
As if the anticipation for the upcoming Batman Part II couldn’t be any higher, the sequel’s director has recently confirmed the cast list for the new film.
According to People magazine, the cast list for The Batman Part II includes a healthy mix of new and returning faces from the original film, including Robert Pattinson, Andy Serkis and Jeffrey Wright.
Along with these returning actors are a variety of new stars making their formal introduction to the DC comic book universe, including Marvel stars Sebastian Stan and Scarlett Johansson, among quite a few others.
While details about the new movie are predictably scarce, certain information has been relayed by director Matt Reeves in a recent series of gifs shared on his X account.
Through said posts, Reeves confirmed the participation of Johansson, Stan, Charles Dance and Sebastian Koch in the upcoming movie. Thus far, in terms of the specific characters they’re set to portray, the only thing we know for certain is that Stan will portray the chisel-chinned Gotham district attorney, Harvey Dent.
However, many fans have speculated that Game of Thrones’ Dance will play Dent’s father, while Johansson will portray his wife, Gilda.
“I feel like it’s a really ambitious movie and I think if we do it all right — and obviously I’m so excited about Matt Reeves [directing] because he’s been one of my favorites for a long, long time — I really think it’s going to blow people away,” Stan previously said of the movie. “It’s going to surprise a lot of people, I think, too.”
In terms of the returning cast, Pattinson will again reprise his role as Gotham City’s Dark Knight; Serkis will portray his faithful butler Alfred; Wright will play Gotham PD leader Jim Gordon; and Colin Farrell will portray opportunistic gangster Oz Cobb, also known by his nickname, the Penguin.
