Director Matthew Reeves, previously noted for his work on "Cloverfield" and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," recently announced the start of filming for the sequel to the 2022 film "The Batman."
The director posted a photo from the set of "The Batman 2" on social media – the focus is on a clapperboard from the first take. In the background, a body on a pathologist's table can be seen.
The creators of "The Batman 2" have not yet revealed plot details. However, some things are known: in a previous year's interview, Matt Reeves shared that in the sequel he wanted to delve deeper into Bruce Wayne's story. The director studied comics and looked for an antagonist who would be connected to the main character's past. In the end, he chose an antagonist who "has never really been done in a movie before."
Rumors suggest that the sequel's story will revolve around an alliance between Batman, District Attorney Harvey Dent, and Commissioner James Gordon, who team up to "stop a serial killer and entrenched city mafia."
Robert Pattinson will return as Batman/Bruce Wayne, and Andy Serkis will play Alfred.
The premiere of "The Batman 2" is expected on October 1, 2027, meaning about five years will pass since the release of the first part.
