\n\t\u201cThe Batman\u201d star Robert Pattinson<\/a> has offered his first comments after the highly anticipated DC superhero sequel had to pause production last week<\/a>. Matt Reeves<\/a>, who is returning to direct the follow-up, had to step away from production due to a \u201cfamily matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re pausing for a little bit and then we\u2019re going to figure it all out,\u201d Pattinson told the Official Pop Drop at the London Film Festival\u2019s U.K. premiere of his new film \u201cPrimetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Oct. 5, news broke that Reeves needed to take a step back from filming; no reason has been given for his leave nor has there been any update on if \u201cThe Batman Part II\u201d will need to shift its release date from Feb. 18, 2028.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cProduction on \u2018The Batman Part II\u2019 has been temporarily paused while Matt Reeves focuses on a family matter,\u201d a rep said in a statement last Monday. \u201cMatt has the full support of DC Studios and we look forward to continuing the journey soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with Pattinson, other cast members for \u201cThe Batman Part II\u201d include Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Charles Dance, Brian Tyree Henry, Colin Farrell as the Penguin, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s been a long journey for \u201cThe Batman\u201d sequel, with several delays along the way. The movie was first slated to release on Oct. 2, 2026, before Warner Bros. delayed it a year to Oct. 1, 2027. Then, the studio pushed the film to February 2028. Reeves and Pattinson\u2019s first \u201cBatman\u201d was released on March 4, 2022, meaning the sequel will land six years after the original.<\/p>\n
