Pattinson Calls The Batman Part II a 'Radical' Retelling as U.K. Shoots Continue

His remark signals a tighter focus on Bruce Wayne and an unusual take on the villain that could change how the franchise is seen.

Overview

  • Production is actively under way in the United Kingdom and a reported three-week filming leg in Glasgow has wrapped, with further U.K. shoots planned through the rest of the year.
  • Robert Pattinson told press at the Venice Film Festival that the sequel represents a ‘radical’ change to the script and that he will be filming much of the remainder of the year.
  • Director Matt Reeves has said the film will push further into Bruce Wayne and adopt a villain approach he describes as something not usually seen in Batman films.
  • Unauthorised photos and videos on social media have shown a damaged Batmobile, large vehicular action and scenes with a child, but those leaks are unverified and do not confirm the plot or characters.
  • The movie retains a February 2028 release date and lists a high-profile ensemble including Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan and Colin Farrell, though specific roles remain officially unannounced and secrecy is keeping fan speculation intense.
