The Batman Part II Cast: Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson

Director Matt Reeves has announced the principal cast for “The Batman Part II,” with Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Charles Dance, Sebastian Koch, and Brian Tyree Henry joining the sequel. The film, which is expected to begin full production this week in London with rehearsals and second unit work already underway in Liverpool, is scheduled for release on October 1, 2027.

Sebastian Stan, known for his role as Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has indicated he will portray multiple roles in the film. In an interview with Deadline, Stan said, “I’m excited, I’m nervous and trying to keep surprising myself.” He also confirmed he is working with hair and makeup teams who have devised how his character’s disfigurement will look. While Reeves has not officially disclosed which characters the new cast members will play, speculation has centered on Stan portraying Harvey Dent, the Gotham District Attorney who becomes the villain TwoFace after being disfigured. Stan’s comments about playing “many roles” have fueled expectations that the film will depict the character’s transformation, though he stopped short of explicitly confirming the dual identity.
