We finally have a major update about The Batman Part II!
In a letter to shareholders, WBD CEO David Zaslav confirmed that the movie will finally enter production in the Spring of 2026. The film currently has an October 1, 2027 release date.
“In film, James Gunn is busy preparing the next installments of the DC super family, including Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026), Clayface (2026) and the next Wonder Woman. In addition, The Batman II (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring, among several other projects in development. The 10-year vision for the DC universe also includes an exciting array of television projects, including The Penguin, the upcoming new season of ‘Peacemaker,’ and the debut of ‘Lanterns’ in 2026. In a precise and measured way, the DC franchise will increasingly overlay across the studio’s broader efforts: from film and TV to consumer products, games, experiences and social,” the shareholder note read (via Deadline).
Now, we also have an exciting cast update, including who is confirmed to return for Part II, and who won’t be back.
