Los Angeles, May 15

In a major development for the Gotham City fans, the makers seem to have got their hands on new faces for 'The Batman: Part II.'

According to Deadline, Marvel regulars Sebastian Stan and Scarlett Johansson are all set to come on board for the sequel. Director Matt Reeves confirmed Johansson and Stan's casting on social media, alongside several new members.

"In a Gotham state of mind... Welcome," Reeves wrote with Stan's announcement.

"Next exit, Gotham... Welcome," he added for Scarlett Johansson, adding a GIF of the actress looking in a car's rear-view mirror.

Moving further, Reeves also shared GIFs of actors Brian Tyree Henry, Sebastian Koch, and Charles Dance.

The fresh cast members will join returning actors Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne/Batman, Andy Serkis' Alfred Pennyworth, Jeffrey Wright's James Gordon, and Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb/The Penguin.

The first film, released in 2022, followed a younger Bruce Wayne who was still early in his journey as Batman. The story revolved around the Riddler, played by Paul Dano, who targeted Gotham's powerful people through a series of murders and clues meant for Batman.

The film earned over USD 772 million worldwide and became one of the highest-grossing films of 2022. Matt Reeves has co-written the sequel with Mattson Tomlin. Earlier, Reeves had shared that he was very proud of the script and excited about the next chapter of the Batman story.

'The Batman: Part 2' is currently scheduled to release in theatres on October 1, 2027.

Hold on - Scarlett Johansson in Batman? That's interesting! She's been a huge star for Marvel for a long time. But I hope they don't make it too crowded with all these new faces. The first movie's strength was its focused, noir-style storytelling. More characters doesn't always mean better.

What in the crossover is happening? 😂 From MCU to Gotham! But honestly, I love this - Robert Pattinson as Batman was incredible, and adding top talent like Johansson and Stan just shows how good Matt Reeves' vision is. October 2027 feels like ages away though! We need it sooner!

First movie was a masterpiece - dark, gritty, perfect. But I'm a bit worried about too many big names now. Casting is great but hope the story doesn't suffer. Also, Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister!) in Gotham? Now that's perfect casting! 🔥

Honestly, this feels like Hollywood's desperation - throwing big names at everything. The first Batman worked because it was fresh and different. Adding MCU stars feels like a gimmick. That said, I'll still watch it because Matt Reeves hasn't disappointed yet. Let's hope the writing matches the cast! 👀

Bhai, this is awesome! 😍 Sebastian Stan as a villain? Yes please! And Scarlett - she could play anyone in Gotham. Maybe Catwoman? But wait, 2027 release? That's 3 years from now! 🥲 Hollywood timing is so different from ours. We need to wait like we wait for a good biryani
