- Batman part 2‘s first cast has been revealed
- Six actors are now confirmed to be part of the long-awaited sequel
- Its director has said more announcements will be made later today (May 14)
Batman part 2‘s first cast members have been announced – but there’s still no word on who the long-awaited sequel’s main villain will be.
In a series of posts uploaded to his personal X/Twitter account yesterday (May 13), director Matt Reeves confirmed the first six stars who will be part of his next Batman film. However, the revelations are not that surprising because they are actors who were always expected to return, such as Robert Pattinson’s eponymous crimefighter or people who also appeared in Batman and had already confirmed they would be back for Round 2.

Anyway, for those of you who don’t want to scroll through Reeves’ X/Twitter timeline, here’s the confirmed cast for Batman 2 so far:
- Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman
- Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon
- Andy Serkis as Alfred
- Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb/The Penguin
- Jayme Lawson as Mayor Bella Real
- Gil Perez-Abraham as Officer Martinez
Fortunately, the wait won’t be long to find out who will join the aforementioned collective in Reeves’ upcoming DC cartoon movie.
In fact, after the aforementioned revelations, Reeves signed off for the night with a final tweet that simply reads “more… tomorrow” — tomorrow, of course, now today (May 14). So we can expect even more cast announcements in the very, very near future.
What can we expect from The Batman 2’s next round of cast announcements?
Possible spoilers follow Batman part 2.
To begin with, two actors who are or have been a part of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Last December, news broke that Scarlett Johansson had reportedly signed on to star Batman part 2. Less than a month later, another MCU Stalwart in Sebastian Stan was also said to be a part of Batman 2‘s cast.
Who plays the couple? Rumors abound that Stan is on board as Harvey Dent, aka the Gotham City lawyer who will become the villainous Two-Face. Meanwhile, Johansson is thought to portray Dent’s wife, aka Gilda Gold. But some fans have theorized that she could play anyone from Poison Ivy and Vicky Vale, to Andrea Beaumont and Talia al Ghul.
Then the big question mark is over Batman Part IIprimary antagonist.
It’s possible that Stan’s Dent could be its main villain, but that’s only if he becomes his criminal alter-ego at some point in the film. Meanwhile, after Reeves revealed the first behind-the-scenes photos for Batman 2raised fans’ hopes that Victor Fries, aka Mister Freeze, would be the next member of The Dark Knight’s stuffed rogues gallery to battle Pattinson’s titular character.
As for other returning faces, I wouldn’t rule out cameos from Paul Dano’s Riddler or Barry Keoghan’s Joker – both of whom appeared in Batman. However, I guess we’ll have to wait for Reeves to take to social media again to find out who officially joins Pattinson, Wright and company in one of next year’s most exciting new movies.
