Steven Soderbergh Steps In as Cameras Roll Again on The Batman: Part II

Soderbergh will finish the remaining weeks of shooting in London to help preserve Matt Reeves’ creative plan with minimal schedule disruption.

Overview

  • Earlier this month director Matt Reeves stepped away from the set to handle a private family matter and he remains the credited director of The Batman: Part II.
  • Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh volunteered to complete the final weeks of principal photography and says he will work closely with Reeves’ team to match existing footage.
  • Reporting estimates roughly two-thirds of the film had been shot before the pause, leaving Soderbergh to oversee the roughly one-third still to be filmed.
  • Lead actor Robert Pattinson confirmed production has resumed in London and said he will return to set within days, while key cast members remain attached to the project.
  • The film retains its February 18, 2028 release date for now, but studios and filmmakers acknowledge remaining production and post‑production tasks create a real risk that the schedule could shift.
