Steven Soderbergh Steps In as Filming Resumes on The Batman: Part II

DC Studios says Reeves will remain the credited director with Soderbergh completing the final weeks of photography while Reeves leads post-production.

Overview

  • Production resumed in London after a brief pause and Steven Soderbergh agreed to complete the last weeks of principal photography so work could continue.
  • Matt Reeves publicly confirmed he is not leaving the project and will retain director credit while overseeing post-production from Los Angeles.
  • Robert Pattinson said he expects to return to set in a few days and praised Soderbergh’s offer as a voluntary, 'selfless' way to protect Reeves’s vision.
  • Studio statements say Soderbergh approached Reeves and will collaborate with Reeves’s team to make new footage integrate seamlessly with the roughly two-thirds of the film already shot.
  • The film remains scheduled for release on February 18, 2028, but its night-heavy, ensemble shoot and tight post-production window create ongoing scheduling risk that could force future changes.
