The sequel to The Batman will no longer arrive in 2026 as previously expected.
According to Deadline, Matt Reeves’ The Batman sequel is now set to move from 2 October 2026 to 1 October 2027. Production isn't scheduled to begin until late summer, and with a VFX-heavy sequel such as this one, a release in autumn 2026 is no longer feasible.
Alejandro González Iñárritu and Tom Cruise are set to join the autumn 2026 movie season.
The Legendary production, which also stars Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde, and Riz Ahmed, follows the most powerful man in the world as he embarks on a frantic mission to prove something.
Robert Pattinson will reprise his role in The Batman Part II.
The sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman was first revealed at CinemaCon in April 2022. Mattson Tomlin joined the project in August of that year to co-write with Reeves, and in late January 2023, DC Studios executives James Gunn and Peter Safran announced the film’s title.
