The Batman Part II suffered another setback when production on the DC superhero film was paused.
Now, the film’s star Robert Pattinson is sharing an update on the future of the Matt Reeves-directed movie.
“Yeah, we’re pausing for a little bit, and then we’re going to figure it all out,” Pattinson told Official Pop Drop while promoting Primetime.
On Monday, October 5, Deadline reported that the studio released a statement about the pause.
“Production on The Batman Part II has been temporarily paused while Matt Reeves focuses on a family matter,” the studio said in a statement. “Matt has the full support of DC Studios and we look forward to continuing the journey soon.”
The cast of The Batman sequel includes Robert Pattinson, Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell returning respectively as Batman, Alfred and Penguin, with new additions Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Brian Tyree Henry, Jayme Lawson, Charles Dance, Gil Perez-Abraham and Sebastian Koch.
During the premiere for The Drama earlier this year, Pattinson teased The Batman sequel, telling Deadline, “The script is extraordinary. I think it’s going to be a really, really special movie and very, very different.”
Pattinson noted that the sequel to the 2022 DC Studios film will be different from the first, which was something he was surprised by, adding, “It’s going to be interesting seeing it come out. It’s taking some big swings.”
The Batman Part II is still set for release on February 18, 2028, for now.
