UPDATE: A new Jeff Sneider report claims Sebastian Stan may not be Two-Face after all, with sources saying he’s playing serial killer Victor Zsasz while Brian Tyree Henry is now rumored as Harvey Dent.
Sebastian Stan is opening up about joining The Batman: Part II, and it sounds like Harvey Dent’s Two-Face turn is coming in Matt Reeves’ sequel.
Speaking with Deadline, Stan said he will soon be heading to London over the summer for Reeves’ The Batman: Part II, where he’ll play “many roles in this one.”
Stan is referring to Harvey Dent, Gotham’s crime-fighting District Attorney who later becomes Two-Face after Sal “Boss” Maroni throws acid in his face, scarring one side and sending him into madness.
Sebastian Stan Talks The Batman: Part II
Stan told Deadline he is “excited” and “nervous” about the role as he prepares to enter Reeves’ Batman universe.
“I’m excited, I’m nervous and trying to keep surprising myself,” Stan said of taking on Two-Face.
The actor also mentioned working with the hair and makeup teams, who have already devised how Harvey Dent’s disfigurement will look in the movie.
That confirms Reeves isn’t only introducing Harvey Dent as Gotham’s District Attorney. The movie will also be dealing with his transformation into Two-Face.
UPDATE: The sequel Stan is heading to London for is now in production — cameras have started rolling on The Batman: Part II, with director Matt Reeves sharing the first shot from set along with a mysterious background detail.
Harvey Dent Joins Matt Reeves’ Gotham
Harvey Dent is one of Batman’s most important villains, usually starting as an ally in Gotham’s war on crime before becoming one of the city’s most tragic monsters.
In the comics and previous adaptations, Dent is Gotham’s District Attorney and works against organized crime. His life changes after Sal Maroni attacks him with acid in court, leaving one side of his face scarred.
Dent later becomes Two-Face, a villain obsessed with chance, duality, and his signature coin flip.
Stan’s “many roles” comment points directly to that split between Harvey Dent and Two-Face, which fits the psychological crime-drama tone Reeves built with The Batman.
Sebastian Stan Makes The Jump From Marvel To DC
The Batman: Part II also marks Stan’s first major move into Warner Bros.’ Batman world after years in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Stan is best known to comic book movie fans as Bucky Barnes, a role he has played across the Captain America movies, Avengers films, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Thunderbolts.
Now he is moving from Marvel to DC with one of Batman’s most iconic villains.

The Batman: Part II Is Filming
The update comes as The Batman: Part II has started moving forward.
Recent set images and video surfaced from Liverpool, showing Gotham Police vehicles filming near Queensway Tunnel.
Reeves also recently teased the Batmobile with “snow tires,” which sparked fan speculation about a colder Gotham and a possible Mr. Freeze connection.
