Overview
- Johansson told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday that her part in The Batman Part II “gave me a lot of existential angst” and that the role was “very hard to figure out.”
- Director Matt Reeves confirmed Johansson's casting in May with a cryptic X post but neither Reeves nor Warner Bros. has officially named her character.
- Industry reporting has circulated unconfirmed theories that she could play Gilda Dent, Poison Ivy, or a gender‑flipped Two‑Face and those rumors remain speculative.
- Production briefly paused in October when Reeves stepped away for a family matter and later resumed with Steven Soderbergh helping to complete principal photography, and the film remains scheduled for February 18, 2028.
- The film features an expanded, high‑profile ensemble around Robert Pattinson and Johansson’s comments are likely to extend fan and media speculation and delay any official character reveal into the promotional run.
