Sebastian Stan is aboard as Dent.

There are plenty of returning cast members for Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman: Part II’, Robert Pattinson, Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell among them. But there will also be new faces, with ‘Game of Thrones’ veteran Charles Dance among them.

Deadline is now reporting that Dance will play Christopher Dent, the imposing (and, if lore holds, abusive) father to Harvey Dent, who will be brought to screens this time by Sebastian Stan.

Release Date: Oct 1, 2027

And we now also know that Scarlett Johansson, whose part until recently has been a mystery, will be Dent’s wife.

What’s the story of ‘The Batman: Part II’?

Little is known officially about what Pattinson’s Caped Crusader will tackle, but we do know that Farrell is back as Oz Cobb, the villainous gangster nicknamed “The Penguin” while Jeffrey Wright (James Gordon) is also predicted to be back.

We can probably expect to see Batman tackle another menace from his rogues’ gallery, with Barry Keoghan teased as a potential Joker at the end of the original movie, but nothing confirmed about him actually playing the role.

When will ‘The Batman: Part II’ be in theaters?

Following a variety of release date shifts as Reeves and co-writer Mattson Tomlin honed the script, the movie is currently set to land on screens on October 1, 2027.
