by

Indeed, just as mentioned earlier, James Gunn has confirmed that Matt Reeves continues to be the director for The Batman 2. It’s quite surprising that there was ever any doubt about this.

Part II” that didn’t list Matt Reeves as the director, a fan asked Gunn on Twitter, “Is Matt Reeves still directing The Batman Part II?

What did James Gunn say?

Gunn replied Saturday, who seemed to wonder why the question was even asked, “Yes. Huh?“

The Batman 2 not canceled

Last November, Gunn too addressed fans who doubted that the rumor about “Batman” sequel being scrapped was untrue.

Gunn replied, “Why on earth would you trust a stranger on social media? Of course not.” He continued, “If it was canceled, it would be officially announced. I’m not into games. I’ve been a big fan of Matt for years – since Cloverfield and the Planet of the Apes films. We are all eagerly waiting for his new script.

What happened?

The website Production Weekly recently published a listing that claims “The Batman: Part II” will begin filming in March 2026. This supposed schedule, descriptions, and cast members are included in the listing; however, Matt Reeves is only listed as the writer, not the director for this upcoming movie.

Given the widespread speculation and fan enthusiasm, it’s been circulated that Matt Reeves won’t be directing “The Batman: Part II”. Due to the film’s multiple setbacks and Reeves dealing with a personal matter, this assumption has spread among fans and various sites.

Yet, if you’d taken a moment to do some research, you would discover that the Production Weekly listing you see appears to be an old one. Interestingly enough, just like before, it failed to mention a director as well.

It’s important to mention that the information on this site isn’t reliable, as they’ve made mistakes in the past, such as spreading false info about a Mr. Freeze movie. Even James Gunn himself debunked their claims. The site has also listed numerous projects as being in production or happening, but many of these are just rumors and not actual productions.

Indeed, it’s true that Matt Reeves continues to helm “The Batman: Part II”. Notably, he is now in the process of finalizing the screenplay, as announced recently by the executives from Warner Bros. movies, Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy.

Release info

The sequel to “The Batman,” titled “The Batman: Part II,” is set to hit the big screens on October 1, 2027. Once again, Robert Pattinson will don the cape and cowl.
