With a gross of $772 million and three Oscar nominations, Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson’s Batman didn’t miss a beat in his debut on the big screen. And it is quite natural that a sequel was announced.
Scheduled to hit theaters in France on October 1, 2025 (and two days later in the U.S.), filming is set to begin next year and details will be announced soon.
That doesn’t stop the media from wanting to know more and as quickly as possible. And it’s Barry Keoghan who’s paying the price today: currently casting at Saltburn (December 22 on Prime Video in France), the actor made a brief but memorable appearance in Batman’s final moments under the Joker’s make-up. And in a deleted scene.
In Gotham as imagined by Matt Reeves, Batman’s nemesis is already locked up in Arkham Asylum, leaving the possibility of seeing him return: “I can’t say anything about that.”The Golden Globe-nominated actor responded Etalk. “But it would be exciting, wouldn’t it? Seeing the Joker come back to life? My smile says it all.”
A smile that will therefore be proof. Which isn’t too surprising since everything pointed to Matt Reeves planting the seeds for a possible sequel. By saving a few tricks: “Does the scene introduce the main antagonist of the next film? No, that wasn’t the intention. I don’t know who the villain will be.”The director gave us an answer when Batman was released in early 2022.
“The idea was more to give context to this world and show that even though the bridge of corruption has been somewhat broken, trouble will not stop happening.” While the Penguin (Colin Farrell) is still gone (and a series dedicated to him will open the door to the story of Batman II), the Bat is not done suffering. in the cinema.
