- Quick Answer: Cristin Milioti will not appear as Sofia Falcone in The Batman Part II, as the sequel's script was locked before The Penguin wrapped.
With Matt Reeves' Bat-Verse continuously expanding across film and TV, DCU fans have been eager to see how the fallout from HBO's The Penguin will bleed directly into The Batman Part II.
Following Cristin Milioti's Emmy-winning performance as mob heiress Sofia Falcone, fans speculate that the newly crowned Queen of Gotham's underworld could cross paths with Robert Pattinson's Caped Crusader.
Will Sofia Falcone Be in The Batman Part II? Cristin Milioti Breaks Silence
In a recent interview with ComicBookMovie, Milioti was asked the million-dollar question of her villain's current status in Gotham, specifically, in facing the Dark Knight anytime soon: "There's not a chance you'll see me in it, sadly."
Milioti added that she may be hoping to potentially reprise the character, considering her interest and passion to return to the franchise, "But I wait. You know, I would go back to that world in a heartbeat."
Which Villains Will the Dark Knight Face in His Sequel?
With Sofia Falcone officially off the board for Part II, questions remain regarding which rogue's gallery members will step into the spotlight to challenge Bruce Wayne's fragile hold on Gotham City.
While Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb (The Penguin) is confirmed to return as a major connection following his rise to power, insider reports point to multiple other sinister threats facing the Dark Knight:
District Attorney Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, is frequently mentioned in casting reports as a prime candidate for the sequel. Part II could introduce Dent as Gotham's idealistic "White Knight" fighting Oz Cobb's growing criminal empire, setting up his inevitable downfall into the horrific villain.
Others suggest that the move will introduce the serial killer Victor Zsasz. Sebastian Stan is playing a mystery role in the film, and reports suggest it could be one of these two antagonists.
There's also Clayface, whose solo DC debut is scheduled for October 23, 2026. The disgraced actor Basil Karlo, who uses prosthetic face-shifting masks to commit horrific murders, is an ideal theatrical villain for a noir detective mystery.
In the meantime, fans can wait until The Batman Part II sets its theatrical release date for February 18, 2028. Stay tuned!
