What James Gunn’s The Batman 2 Comments Mean For The DC Movie
Gunn’s comments don’t appear to be anything to get worried about when it comes toThe Batman - Part IIand whether or not it will be on track for its 2026 release date. Even though the script is still in progress,that doesn’t mean Reeves is necessarily having issues with finishing his ongoing draft, as there could be many factors that are playing a vital part in this. Indeed, Reeves could well be close to finishingThe Batman - Part IIscriptwith Mattson Tomlin as they get ready to enter 2025.
It’s also worth keeping in mind that, in a recent interview,Colin Farrell revealed how much The Penguin will be inThe Batman - Part II,which means Reeves has clearly gotten far enough with his draft that he can inform stars of how much they are expected to be needed for principal photography. Unless actual delays happen forThe Batman - Part IIin early 2025 that would hold up filming from kicking off, then it seems the DC audience can rest easy for the time being.
