New reports say The Batman Part II, Matt Reeves’ follow-up to The Batman, has cast Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent. That seems to put the earlier Victor Zsasz rumors to bed, since Stan had previously been linked to that role instead.
Those same reports also say Stan confirmed the casting himself. Bringing Harvey Dent into Reeves’ Gotham as district attorney, one of Batman’s best-known allies who later becomes an enemy, tracks with the grounded, corruption-heavy world the first film built, even if any eventual Two-Face arc is still just speculation from fans at this point.
And for people who’ve been watching this sequel closely, the other big piece of news is that it finally seems to be moving again. After slipping from October 2025 because of the 2023 Hollywood strikes and an extended writing process, The Batman Part II now appears to be back on course. Reeves is back to direct and co-write with Mattson Tomlin, filming is reportedly underway in Glasgow, Scotland, and there have already been Batmobile sightings around the area. Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, and Andy Serkis are all said to be returning, while Scarlett Johansson, Charles Dance, and Brian Tyree Henry have been reported in undisclosed and still unconfirmed roles. A few unverified rumors have even linked some of them to Harvey Dent’s family.
The Batman Part II is set to hit theaters on February 18, 2028.
