Sebastian Stan has finally confirmed that he will be playing fan-favorite villain Harvey Dent in The Batman Part II.
The MCU star is one of the new additions to the highly anticipated sequel to the Robert Pattinson-starring Caped Crusader film, which is currently in production. However, when his casting was first announced, the details regarding the role that he is playing were under wraps.
Now, he has finally revealed which character he is playing in the follow-up.
Sebastian Stan Reveals His Role in The Batman Part II
During a recent interview in Le Journal di Dimanche, Sebastian Stan accidentally revealed that he is playing Harvey Dent in The Batman Part II while discussing his involvement in Avengers: Doomsday.
The long-time MCU star opened up about how the filming for the upcoming Avengers sequel was done in secrecy and why he can't discuss the plot details. At the same time, he spilled the beans regarding his role in The Batman Part II.
"We didn't have a script. We were just shooting scattered scenes. It's a different way of working, continuous, constantly evolving. The producers didn't want us to read it in its entirety, to avoid journalists asking us questions. I've been following this rule for fifteen years, I'm used to it," the actor said.
"I also can't say anything about The Batman Part II, by Matt Reeves, where I play Harvey Dent. The beauty of this profession also lies in participating in projects of this scale, which I love as a viewer. Right now, I'm really looking forward to seeing The Odyssey, by Christopher Nolan; it looks amazing."
While it was heavily rumored that Stan might be playing Harvey Dent, there were also speculations that he would play Victor Zsasz instead, given that he shaved his head when he prepared for the film.
Now, we finally know that the MCU star is indeed playing the fan-favorite villain in the sequel, and fans are now excited to see what his take will be on the character in the sequel, as well as whether he will transform into Two-Face.
