Matt Reeves’DCfranchise is getting ready to expand withThe Batman - Part II, and now James Gunn addresses new filming rumors that also involveThe Batman 3. While Gunn’s DC Universe is still being built, one of DC Studios' Elseworlds properties is continuing its world expansion. In addition toThe PenguinTV show arriving later this year on Max, Reeves is also actively working onThe Batman - Part IIstory.
While celebrating the DC Comics debut of Vigilante, who will be returning forPeacemakerseason 2, Instagram user kemper2004 managed to get the DC Studio co-CEO’s attention in regard to a newThe Batman - Part IIrumor. The rumor emerged thatThe Batman - Part IIandThe Batman 3would be filmed back-to-back in 2025, butGunnsaid that there is no truth to it.
It’s worth taking into account thatThe Batman 3has, at the time of this story’s publication, not been formally announced by Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios. An announcement aboutThe Batman 3may only happen onceThe Batman - Part IIhas been released, as the decision may be based on its box office and critical reception.

When Will The Batman 2 Start Filming? Everything We Know
Even thoughThe Batman - Part IIwas supposed to have started principal photography in November 2023, filming wasn’t able to get underway in light of the Hollywood 2023 strikes. Because of that, and the lack of a finished screenplay, Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios made the call to delayThe Batman - Part IIto 2026. This will allow Reeves and his team to properly finish pre-production onThe Batman - Part II.
While DC Studios and Warner Bros. Discovery have yet to confirm it, aMarch 2024 report aboutThe Batman - Part IIclaimed that cameras would begin rolling in April 2025. Outside of its leading star, Robert Pattinson, and Jeffrey Wright (who plays James Gordon), it remains to be seen what otherThe Batmancast members will be back for the sequel. Presumably, at the very least, Andy Serkis' Alfred Pennyworth will return forThe Batman - Part II.
It wouldn’t be shocking if more news onThe Batman - Part IIstarts surfacing sometime this year, especially in terms of new casting announcements. While Reeves is keeping details under wraps, it will be fascinating to see who ends up being the main villain inThe Batman - Part II. But for now, the world will have to wait patiently for new developments onThe Batman - Part II.
