Actor Sebastian Stan is the latest MCU veteran to join The Batman: Part II.
Deadline reports that Stan has been cast in an undisclosed role in the Matt Reeves-directed sequel. The site claims DC Studios had no comment.
Although Stan’s role isn’t specified, it’s tough not to look at the actor and picture him as Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, a character who has been rumored to be in The Batman: Part II.
Stan will join his Avengers castmate Scarlett Johansson in the DC sequel, which is set to begin filming this spring for an October 1, 2027, release.
In confirming Stan’s involvement with the film, Variety reports that “Barry Keoghan is also expected to appear once more as the Joker.”
While Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman isn’t expected to return, Colin Farrell’s Penguin, Andy Serkis’ Alfred Pennyworth, and Jeffrey Wright’s Jim Gordon are all poised to join Robert Pattinson’s Batman in the sequel.
Sebastian Stan, of course, still plays Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having just recently starred in Thunderbolts*, and he is set to reprise the role in Avengers: Doomsday.
The actor earned an Oscar nomination for his performance as young Donald Trump in The Apprentice, and also recently starred in the films A Different Man and Dumb Money.
Matt Reeves co-wrote the screenplay for The Batman: Part II with Mattson Tomlin.
