Los Angeles, April 19

Actor Charles Dance is in talks to join the cast of 'The Batman: Part II', where he is expected to play the father of Harvey Dent in the upcoming sequel to 2022's Batman, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Robert Pattinson is back to lead the film as the Dark Knight, with Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent and Scarlett Johansson as Dent's wife.

Directed by Matt Reeves, who also helmed the 2022 film 'The Batman', the sequel is expected to go on floors next month. Reeves has co-written the script with Mattson Tomlin.

Charles Dance, widely known for his role as Tywin Lannister in 'Game of Thrones', has an extensive filmography that includes titles such as 'The Imitation Game', 'Gosford Park' and 'Alien 3'. He was also seen in recent projects like 'The First Omen' and Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein', as per the outlet.

The first instalment, released in 2022, was a major box office success, earning approximately USD 772 million worldwide. It featured a strong ensemble cast including Colin Farrell as Penguin, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Andy Serkis as Alfred and Barry Keoghan in a cameo role.

Following the success of the original film, Warner Bros. announced a sequel at CinemaCon in April 2022. The release date has since undergone multiple changes and is currently slated for October 1, 2027, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

DC Studios has not officially commented on Dance's potential casting.

October 2027?! That's such a long wait yaar. They announced it years ago. Hope the delays mean they are perfecting the script, but it's testing our patience.

Casting looks solid. But I have one respectful criticism: I wish they'd explore more villains from Batman's rogues' gallery instead of revisiting Harvey Dent's origin again. We've seen it in Nolan's trilogy.

Tywin Lannister is coming to Gotham! 😂 This is epic casting. He can play that cold, aristocratic father figure so well. Can't wait to see his scenes with Sebastian Stan's Dent.

The first movie's atmosphere was top class. Matt Reeves understands Batman. With this cast, especially Pattinson and now Dance, Part II should be another winner. DC needs this hit.

Interesting they are building Harvey Dent's backstory so much. Means Two-Face is the main villain for Part III maybe? Hope the story justifies the long build-up.
