Robert Pattinson is gearing up for the release of his latest film, “The Drama,” in which he stars alongside Zendaya. Recently, at the premiere of the new movie, he opened up about the long-awaited sequel to 2022’s “The Batman,” which has been in the works for several years.
Robert Pattinson Says Production On ‘The Batman Part 2’ Will Begin Soon
Warner Bros. first greenlit “The Batman Part 2” in April 2022 with Matt Reeves set to return as the director and Pattinson once again playing the character. However, the film faced several delays and, until recently, repordadly didn’t have a script.
Recently, Pattinson spoke to Deadline and gave an update on the highly anticipated film. He said, “The script is extraordinary, and I think it’s gonna be like a really, really special movie and very, very different, even from the last one.”
The actor went on to call the script “interesting,” noting that the movie will “take some big swings.” Pattinson was then asked if production had started, to which he said, “No, a couple of months.”
The Movie Has An Official Release Date
It’s not uncommon for studios to push back the release of movies. However, many have been dismayed by the long wait, given the success of “The Batman” and the positive reaction to Pattinson as the character.
Originally, “The Batman Part 2” was slated to be released on October 3, 2025. The release date was later changed to October 2026, and now fans can expect to see the yet-to-be filmed movie on October 3, 2027. Of course, it should be noted that the film was also disrupted by the 2023 Hollywood strikes.
Regarding production, Variety reported in April 2025 that production would begin in Spring 2026, which is roughly in line with Pattinson’s update to Deadline.
Fans Are Excited About ‘The Batman Part 2’ But Also Nervous
For the most part, there is still general excitement about “The Batman Part 2.” One person reacted to Pattinson’s update, saying, “Best live action Batman in my opinion.” Another person wrote, “I have a feeling this is gonna be the best Batman movie ever.”
Someone else said, “Production hasn’t even started?? lmaoo.” A different TikTok user then threw out an unwanted scenario, writing, “Imagine they pulled a ‘Joker 2’ and made it a musical.”
Lastly, a different fan brought up the long wait, stating, “Uh, no, a couple months? Brother, we’ve been waiting four years for a Batman movie.” Still, overall, most people have faith that “The Batman Part 2” will live up to the first, especially with Reeves directing.
Robert Pattinson Recently Hinted That He’s Married
Pattinson began dating actress and singer Suki Waterhouse in 2018. They then announced that they were expecting their first child in November of 2023. After that, an insider confirmed to PEOPLE in December that they had gotten engaged.
The source said, “They are engaged. They both want to be married. It’s important for them. He’s so ready. His relationship with Suki is incredible. He feels very lucky.”
More recently, in March 2026, Pattinson and Zendaya gave a joint interview with Extra to promote “The Drama.” During it, they were both asked the biggest secret they’ve been able to keep. This led Zendaya to play coy about rumors she secretly married Tom Holland.
After that, Pattinson said, “It’s the same one that you have,” again, referring to Zendaya’s alleged secret marriage to Holland and hinting that he and Waterhouse had tied the knot.
Pattinson Has Several Movies On The Horizon

Now, ahead of production on “The Batman Part 2,” he has several already completed films on the horizon. Up first is “The Drama,” which arrives in movie theaters on April 3.
After that, he will appear in Christoper Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” which will be released on July 17. Notably, his “The Drama” co-star is also one of the film’s leads.
