  • Scarlett Johansson is widely reported to have joined the cast in an undisclosed role, with trade coverage and pundits speculating she could factor into a Long Halloween-inspired arc.
  • Filming is slated to begin this spring across England and Scotland, with a theatrical release dated for October 1, 2027.
  • Barry Keoghan is expected by multiple outlets to return as the Joker in a larger capacity, though details of his involvement remain under wraps.
