The Batman Part II director Matt Reeves recently unveiled the official main cast, particularly the returning cast members from the first movie.
Four years after the release of The Batman, the highly anticipated sequel is finally starting production this year. Fans have been looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the Caped Crusader's next adventure, including the main villain that he will face and which characters are set to return.
Which Cast Members Are Returning in The Batman Part II?
Yesterday, Matt Reeves unveiled on X the main cast for The Batman Part II, particularly the returning actors from the first movie. While some of them have been reported by media outlets, this is the first time the filmmaker himself has confirmed them.
He made the announcements over a handful of posts where he released GIFs of the characters from the first movie that are confirmed to return.
Here are the confirmed returning cast members in The Batman Part II, according to Reeves:
- Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman
- Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon
- Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth
- Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb/The Penguin
- Jayme Lawson as Bella Real
- Gil Perez-Abraham as Officer Martinez
Reeves ended his series of postings by promising that he would do more casting reveals on the following day, which explains why he has only confirmed the returning cast members.
Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, and Charles Dance are reportedly set to join the sequel, playing members of the Dent family. They will likely be announced by Reeves in his next batch of casting announcements.
Out of the returning cast members, the most notable omission is Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, who was already confirmed not to return in the sequel. Paul Dano and Barry Keoghan are also not on the list, so far, despite their characters still being alive.
For now, stay tuned for more casting updates on the upcoming sequel.
