Batman 2: More bad news for Robert Pattinson’s sequel

The day after the holidays was a contrast for Robert Pattinson on a professional level. The English actor has actually been in the news thanks to his two highly anticipated projects that have brought new movements to the calendar that he has already seen several times.

Mickey 17 Advanced…

And we begin, for once, with good news about Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi comedy, which, if all had gone as planned, would have had a chance to appear on the top of the best movies. 2024 year.

Because the Parasite director’s new feature film was originally slated for spring of this year. Until adjourned, first until January 29, 2025, then until April 16. Seeing Mickey 17 in article headlines indicating date changes has therefore become a source of cold sweat for moviegoers, but not this time.

Dealing with Sinners (Ryan Coogler’s Vampire Story starring Michael B. Jordan), the film has indeed been pushed back to March 5th. That, according to the official version, allowed to enjoy the maximum number of IMAX screens in the United States. And maybe a detour to the Berlin festival a few weeks before.

Of course, for now, we will have to wait a little longer than expected before we find out about this Mickey 17, in which a person who is restored to a new body with his memories when he dies, when he experiences the worst. Threats must coexist with one of his clones.

…Batman II has been delayed again

It is often said that good news never comes alone. But not there. Because at the same time, the sequel to Batman has been delayed once again, and not only because it is now due to appear in French cinemas on September 29, 2027. That’s two years after its release date of October 1, 2025.

Just weeks after Penguin Season 1 ended, opening the door to the upcoming Batman II storyline, this new delay raises questions about whether or not it will give Matt Reeves and his co-writer Matheson Tomlin a little more time to wrap up and finish the script.

Having to wait another year before Matt Reeves returns to Gotham is certainly disappointing, but the choice is quite healthy, in an industry where the release date and desire to strike while the iron is still hot too often trumps quality. the result And that’s what James Gunn meant when he commented on this postponement.

“To be honest, five years or more between a movie and a sequel is pretty common.”It’s written by someone who oversees the new DC Universe alongside producer Peter Safran. “7 years between Alien and Aliens. 14 between The Incredibles and its sequel. 7 between the first two terminator. 13 between the first two avatars. 36 between Top Gun. And, of course, 6 years in between Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and 3.”

Now we have to cross our fingers that the film is not delayed. But there’s still good news in all of this: There’s no risk of a scheduling conflict for Robert Pattinson when he stars in Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey adaptation, which is expected in the summer of 2026.
