During an interview on the Emmys red carpet (via Dark Horizons), director Matt Reeves shared some exciting updates on the production of The Batman: Part II.
Despite initial delays, it was announced back in July that Reeves had finally completed the script for the highly anticipated DC sequel. Reeves recently confirmed that production on the project was aiming to get underway in late April to early May 2026.
When asked by The Hollywood Reporter about the status of the movie, Reeves said, “We’re beginning. We’re staffing up. We’re starting to get our crew back together. We’re getting ready. We’re basically entering [pre-production]. We’ll be making the movie in the spring… super excited.”
Regarding the story and potential hints at what to come, Reeves stated, “Because of what the first movie was and what [The Batman: Part 2] is, which is so much a detective story, the idea of trying to protect the secrets of the movie is super important because it’s a mystery.”
He went on to explain that from an audience perspective, “That would be an extra level of heartbreak if that part of it started getting out. You wanna keep the surprise so the fans… can have the fun experience that I always love going to the movies, which was to go and be surprised.” Although he did confirm that Cristin Milioti would not be reprising the role of Sofia Falcone for the project.
However, despite the secrecy, Reeves had some positive and intriguing comments to share about Robert Pattinson‘s recent read-through of the script. “He’s Batman, so if he doesn’t like it, not good. So, I was super excited because I thought that he really would [like it] because the things that it does for his character, for Batman, and for [Bruce Wayne] has never been done before in this way. And I had a feeling he would respond in this way, the fact that he did was incredibly encouraging.”
The Batman Part II is set to premiere on October 1, 2027.
