Robert Pattinson's ‘The Batman Part II' to begin filming in 2026, release set for October 2027
According to Variety, the update was shared in the company's recent letter to shareholders, where it also praised the success of Superman, directed by James Gunn. The new Superman movie has earned nearly $550 million at the global box office so far.
In the letter, Warner Bros. called the DC Universe "one of the most valuable assets in entertainment" and shared updates about other upcoming DC projects. These include Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and Clayface in 2026, and a new Wonder Woman film. The letter also confirmed that The Batman Part II is part of this big vision.
"In film, James Gunn is busy preparing the next instalments of the DC super family, including Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026), Clayface (2026) and the next Wonder Woman. In addition, The Batman II (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring, among several other projects in development. The 10-year vision for the DC universe also includes an exciting array of television projects, including The Penguin, the upcoming new season of Peacemaker, and the debut of Lanterns in 2026. In a precise and measured way, the DC franchise will increasingly overlay across the studio's broader efforts: from film and TV to consumer products, games, experiences and social," wrote the company.
The upcoming film will bring back Robert Pattinson in the lead role, and it will once again be directed by Matt Reeves. The first Batman movie, released in March 2022, was a big hit and earned $772 million worldwide. Since then, fans have been waiting for news about the next chapter.
Production was delayed last year when the film's original release date was pushed from October 2026 to October 2027. But Warner Bros. recently confirmed to Variety that director Reeves has finished the script, and filming is ready to begin next year.

Nivola portrayed the role of Lochlan Ratliff, alongside some of the veteran actors, such as Jason Isaacs, Walton Goggins, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Michelle Monaghan. Sam Nivola on being tagged a nepo baby In conversation with Variety, the actor talked about the nepotism and about being tagged as a nepo baby. Nivola stated, 'Other than my genes, I don't think I can attribute much of my success to my parents. I feel proud that I've done it for myself, and sometimes in spite of them." He added, '[With my first role] I didn't get my dad's agent to call up so-and-so. I did it by myself. I didn't want to give anyone an excuse to be able to say that anything I've achieved has been because of anyone other than me. And I'm proud of that." Speaking of his popular parents, the actor claimed that they were upset by the news of him dropping out of the college to pursue acting. Sam explained, 'My parents were upset. It totally scared them, which is understandable. I wasn't happy at the time because I couldn't dedicate everything in me to acting. And I have problems with authority figures." Meanwhile, though Nivola grew up in the spotlight, he wasn't ready for the fame that presented itself to him after his The White Lotus performance. The actor said, 'When The White Lotus was at its peak, I literally couldn't walk down the street in Brooklyn—my hometown—without being swarmed."

White Lotus Star Sam Nivola Reacts To ‘Nepo Baby' Label, Feels Proud To Have Found Work Himself
The White Lotus actor Sam Nivola doesn't consider himself a nepo baby because he has created his own work opportunities. Sam Nivola is 'proud" he's never relied on his famous parents for help with his career. The White Lotus star is the son of actors Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola and the pair banned him from auditioning for roles before he turned 18, but a year before then, his high school drama teacher helped him land an audition for White Noise and he sent in a self-tape in secret. Once he made it through to the next round to play the son of Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig's characters, he confessed to his parents and they said: 'Holy f****** s***, it's a Noah Baumbach movie?! You have to do the callback!" And asked about being a 'nepo baby", he laughed to Variety: 'Other than my genes, I don't think I can attribute much of my success to my parents. I feel proud that I've done it for myself, and sometimes in spite of them." '[With my first role] I didn't get my dad's agent to call up so-and-so. I did it by myself. I didn't want to give anyone an excuse to be able to say that anything I've achieved has been because of anyone other than me. And I'm proud of that." Emily and Alessandro were further 'upset" when Sam, now 21, dropped out of college after just one semester studying Latin and film at Columbia. He said: 'My parents were upset. It totally scared them, which is understandable. I wasn't happy at the time because I couldn't dedicate everything in me to acting. 'And, I have problems with authority figures." Despite growing up with parents in the public eye, Sam was unprepared for the level of fame The White Lotus would bring him. He said: 'When The White Lotus was at its peak, I literally couldn't walk down the street in Brooklyn — my hometown — without being swarmed." To escape the attention, the Perfect Couple actor and his friends asked ChatGPT to find 'the worst bar in the East Village" and ended up in a taproom where speaking was banned. He recalled: 'We're yelling, 'This place is f****** awesome!' and everyone's like, 'Shhh!'" view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
