Batman Part II release date at risk as director Matt Reeves steps away
Director Matt Reeves steps away from the sequel for family reasons, halting filming mid-production.
Production on Batman Part II has paused after director Matt Reeves stepped away for family reasons. The sequel, starring Robert Pattinson, was filming in London with a February 2028 release date.
It's unclear whether Reeves will return or be replaced. DC Studios said Reeves "had the full support" and left the door open for either outcome.
The Batman Part II is already a delayed project; it was originally supposed to start filming in 2023 and release in 2025 before script rewrites and the 2023 Hollywood strikes pushed it back. The 2022 original Batman grossed US$770 million worldwide.
