Pictures<\/p>\n<p>Filmmaker Steven Soderbergh is coming on board \u201cThe Batman Part II\u201d to help filmmaker Matt Reeves complete the film.<\/p>\n<p>The other week, the news came that production was paused on the film in the UK so that Reeves could focus on a personal matter related to his family.  Shooting had begun in June in the UK and is said to be at around the two-thirds mark.  No indication was made at the time as to when filming would resume.<\/p>\n<p>Speculation began to mount that the project could be scrapped, but DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran shot down that claim at the \u201cClayface\u201d premiere with a straight \u201cno\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/10\/steven-soderbergh-the-batman-part-ii-1237158482\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a> reports Soderbergh will help finish principal photography for the final weeks of production.  Although Reeves is unable to be on set in London, the two will reportedly work together and remain in communication until filming has ended.<\/p>\n<p>Reeves will then take over post-production duties when he is ready to return. The studio released the following statement:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Matt Reeves continues to attend to an ongoing family matter, Steven Soderbergh, as an admirer of Matt\u2019s work, approached Matt and will step in, with the full support of DC Studios, to help the writer-director complete the final weeks of principal photography on The Batman Part 2. Matt and Steven will work closely together with the actors and crew to fulfil Matt\u2019s vision of the film.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soderbergh released his own statement, saying:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought Matt Reeves\u2019 work on The Batman was stunning; it was intentional, specific, and rigorously coherent. The goal here is to work with Matt and his team to generate footage that will integrate seamlessly with what\u2019s already been shot so Matt can properly finish his film.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Reeves has released a statement on X, saying:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust to be clear, I am not leaving The Batman Part II. I am profoundly grateful to Steven for coming to my aid during this challenging time to help me finish principal photography. Thank you to all for your concern and well wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robert Pattinson, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Brian Tyree Henry, Jayme Lawson, Charles Dance, Gil Perez-Abraham and Sebastian Koch star.<\/p>\n<p>The film currently remains on track for a February 18th 2028 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warner Bros.
