The Batman: Part II has opened Gotham’s doors to a new wave of stars as production officially gets underway, after writer and director Matt Reeves confirmed the addition of Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan to the sequel.
Reeves revealed through social media posts that Stan will play Harvey Dent, the character who later becomes Two-Face, while Johansson’s role remains undisclosed. He also announced the casting of Brian Tyree Henry, Sebastian Koch and Charles Dance.
Robert Pattinson returns as Bruce Wayne and Batman, alongside Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright and Colin Farrell.
