The Batman Part II Delayed to 2027, Filming Confirmed for This Year

Director Matt Reeves cites script development and personal challenges as reasons for the delay but reassures fans that production will begin in 2025.

The Batman Part II, originally scheduled for October 2025, has been delayed to October 2027, marking a five-year gap since the first film's release.
Director Matt Reeves confirmed at the Golden Globes that filming will commence later this year despite the delays.
Reeves attributed the delay to ongoing script development and unspecified personal challenges, while emphasizing his excitement for the sequel's story and new characters.
James Gunn defended the extended timeline, comparing it to other major sequels with significant gaps between installments, such as Avatar and Aliens.
