The Batman - Part IIdirector Matt Reeves teases if theDCsequel will introduce some long-anticipated villains in Robert Pattinson’s universe. Following the success ofThe Batmanin 2022, the world is actively waiting to learn new details aboutThe Batman - Part IIstory, which will continue Reeves' Elseworlds-based franchise. One of the biggest mysteries with the DC sequel is who Pattinson’s version of Batman will face next after the war against The Riddler.
In a new interview withSHOWSHAwhile promotingThe PenguinTV Show, Reeves was asked if the Court of Owls may be inThe Batman - Part II. With production set to start next year,Reeves remained very tight-lipped about who will be the villain inThe Batman - Part II, sharing the following.
We can’t comment on the movie because we are doing the movie and then you’d know what movie we’re doing and we’re not going to say that yet.
What Matt Reeves' Comments Mean For The Batman 2
While Reeves is keeping the movie’s secrets close to his chest,it makes sense why he wouldn’t want to reveal too many details aboutThe Batman - Part IIyet. To begin with, the setting where he gave these comments was to marketThe Penguin, notThe Batman - Part II. Talking about the sequel duringThe Penguinpress tour would be undermining the new HBO series, especially asThe Batman - Part II’srelease dateis more than two years away.
It’s also possible that Reeves is looking to keep more secrecy aroundThe Batman - Part II’smain antagonist, in comparison to how open they were withThe Riddler inThe Batman. It’s very common these days for a lot of films, especially in the superhero genre, to make casting additions but not reveal who their characters are, which may be the case forThe Batman - Part II. Given how manyThe Batman - Part IIrumorsthere have been in the last year alone, that could be the potential cause of a possible new approach for how much Reeves wants to reveal to the public.
Our Take On Matt Reeves' Comments
Despite Reeves' comments, withThe Batman - Part IIeying principal photography in 2025,that means casting is either close to starting or currently taking place, with news likely rolling out later this fall. That will likely be when the world will find out whether the Court of Owls will serve as the main villain inThe Batman - Part II. Unless they are going to keep the central antagonist under wraps up until they start filming, it will hopefully not be much longer until everyone knows who the next villain will be inThe Batman - Part II.
