James Gunn Denies Batman Sequels Are Being Shot Back-to-Back

Gunn’s statement cools a viral theory about simultaneous shoots while Part III’s production timing remains unannounced.

Overview

  • James Gunn publicly denied the claim on Thursday, saying The Batman: Part II and Part III are not being filmed at the same time.
  • The Batman: Part II is actively in production in London and is scheduled for release on February 18, 2028.
  • A fan-posted logo showing a Roman numeral III helped spark the back-to-back rumor and was amplified by long-running franchise reporter Bill Ramey, who later said he was promoting a Part III rather than reporting a studio announcement.
  • The rumor gained traction because Hollywood has precedent for shooting sequels back-to-back and because director Matt Reeves has taken an extended, deliberate approach to scripting and production of the Reeves-led Batman saga.
  • Gunn’s denial addresses the specific simultaneous-shoot claim but does not confirm whether Warner Bros. or Reeves will formally schedule or greenlight a separate Part III, leaving the trilogy’s longer-term timeline unclear.
