Sebastian Stan is heading to Gotham.
As reported by Deadline, Stan is officially in talks to join the cast of The Batman – Part II.
Warner Bros. has not revealed who he’s playing, but the site says his role is a major one opposite Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne and Batman.
With the recent talk that Scarlett Johansson has joined the cast, possibly as the wife of Harvey Dent, Sebastian Stan could be playing Harvey Dent and Two-Face.
Is Stan Playing Harvey Dent?
Stan’s casting lines up with recent reports that Harvey Dent and his family will appear in the sequel.
Scarlett Johansson is already rumored to be playing Gilda Dent, and earlier talk suggested Brad Pitt was considered for Dent’s father.
With that groundwork being laid, Stan could very well be playing Dent himself, a key figure in Gotham who eventually becomes the villain Two-Face.
A Fit For Reeves’ Gotham
Stan is known for playing conflicted, layered characters, and Reeves’ grounded, psychological approach to Gotham would allow him to dig deep into Dent’s slow unraveling.
If Reeves plans to show Dent’s transformation over time, Stan could be a long-term piece of the new Batman trilogy.
What’s Next For The Batman – Part II
Matt Reeves returns to direct, with Robert Pattinson back as Batman. The sequel is currently in pre-production, aiming for an October 1, 2027 theatrical release.
Filming begins soon.
