Following Robert Pattinson’s latest casting report, the potential ofThe Batman 2being either delayed or canceled gets clarified in a new report about theDCsequel. While Matt Reeves’The Batmanuniverseis intended to continue, the wait forThe Batman 2is taking longer than fans were expecting. AsThe Batman 2continues to develop, a new report about Pattinson raised questions for some regarding whether the superhero sequel was facing another delay.
As Pattinson is reportedly being considered for a huge role in the upcomingDune 3movie that is currently in development, some confusion began to circulate about what this would mean forThe Batman 2. Luckily,Deadline’sJustin Krolltook to X to address whether or notDune 3would affectThe Batman 2, as he stated the following:
According to the trade reporter,Dune 3would be starting its principal photography in the summer, as it has also been reported thatThe Batman 2is expected to begin filming towards the end of 2025. At the time of this story’s publication,Legendary Pictures, which produces theDunemovies, and Warner Bros. Discovery, which is its distributor, have not commented on Pattinson’sDune 3casting report.
What The Batman 2 Update Means For Robert Pattinson’s DC Sequel
While it is understandable that there is concern aboutThe Batman 2’shypothetical delay,it’s crucial to take several factors into consideration when it comes to Pattinson’s immediate future. One of the things that many may have missed withPattinson’sDune 3reportis that there is no current deal in place, as he is simply being eyed for a role. Until he is fully signed on to join theDune 3cast, there is always the possibility that the actor doesn’t board the project, depending on how the conversations and negotiations are turning out.
Even if there was a scenario where Pattinson ends up being cast inDune 3, and its shooting schedule gets even remotely near or coincides withThe Batman 2’sfilmingschedule,it doesn’t mean he is going to be shooting for all the months that theDuneinstallment would be in production. It’s very common that actors in supporting roles only shoot for a handful of months before said movie has wrapped filming altogether. This also applies to Pattinson’s upcoming role in Christopher Nolan’sThe Odyssey, which is filming right now, as it simply means that 2025 will just be a very busy year for the DC actor.
Our Take On The Batman 2 Update
Even ifThe Batman 2updateshave been limited,it’s comforting to know that Pattinson’s expansive filming schedule seemingly isn’t something that should push his DC movie back any further. If anything, it’s exciting to see a talented actor getting booked for major franchises. Hopefully, there will be exciting news aboutThe Batman 2over the next few months as they get closer to finally kicking off principal photography.
