Gotham City is welcoming a few new faces as production on The Batman: Part II gets underway.
After Deadline reported that Sebastian Stan was in talks to join the sequel as Harvey Dent (aka Two-Face) and Scarlett Johansson was also eyeing a role, writer and director Matt Reeves confirmed his casting on social media with a GIF, along with several new cast members.
“In a Gotham state of mind… Welcome,” wrote Reeves with Stan’s announcement.
Reeves also posted a GIF of Johansson looking in a car’s rear-view mirror. “Next exit, Gotham… Welcome,” he wrote.
Keeping up the Gen Z-friendly announcements, Reeves shared GIFs of Brian Tyree Henry, Sebastian Koch and Charles Dance, whose casting Deadline previously reported.
They join returning stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon and Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb/The Penguin
Last week, Reeves revealed that production has begun on The Batman: Part II, teasing set photos of the Batmobile driving through snow.
Gunn revealed last July that the script for The Batman: Part II was finished, following several delays. In August, a letter to Warner Bros. Discovery’s shareholders revealed that filming on the sequel would begin filming in the spring, ahead of an Oct. 1, 2027 theatrical release.
