Deadline<\/a> reports that Scarlett Johansson is in final negotiations to star in The Batman: Part II alongside Robert Pattinson. It\u2019s not known who she would be playing in the sequel, but assuming the deal closes, this would be yet another major project for the Marvel actress, as she recently signed on to star in the new Exorcist movie<\/a> from Mike Flanagan.<\/p>\n

Who Could Scarlett Johansson Play in The Batman: Part II?<\/p>\n

The report states that Johansson\u2019s team was juggling negotiations for both The Batman: Part II and the new Exorcist movie, trying to figure out how she could handle both. According to reports, the schedule has been worked out. She\u2019s going to be very busy. In regards to who Johansson could be playing, fans are already having a field day. Is she poised to become Pattinson\u2019s new love interest, or is she stepping into a far juicier role as the film\u2019s new villain?<\/p>\n

What We Know About The Batman: Part II<\/p>\n

Details on the sequel are sparse, but Reeves has previously teased that the villain<\/a> has \u201cnever really been done in a movie before.\u201c Robert Pattinson will once again suit up as Batman, and it\u2019s expected that Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell will also return as Jim Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth, and the Penguin, respectively. There have also been rumblings<\/a> that Tobias Menzies is circling a role in the film.<\/p>\n

It was also recently announced<\/a> that Erik Messerschmidt (Mindhunter) would be serving as the DP on the sequel, replacing Greig Fraser, who shot the first movie.<\/p>\n

Farrell has read the script<\/a> for the sequel and was very moved. \u201cI read the script, and it\u2019s just brilliant,\u201d he said. \u201cMy perspective is that it\u2019s a work of contemporary genre brilliance. It really is. Matt toils so hard, and he puts himself under such pressure. And he realizes what this character and this world mean to so many people, and he knows it\u2019s been around for decades; he\u2019s the man for the job. He really is. He\u2019s a brilliant filmmaker. The thing about Matt, as well, is that, as commercially minded as he is, he\u2019s also so intellectually rigorous.\u201c<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cThis film, like the first one, works on multiple levels, both as pure entertainment and as an investigation into the psychology of the characters of Bruce Wayne and Batman. It\u2019s really, really moving. I found myself very emotionally moved while I was reading it.\u201d The Batman sequel is currently slated to hit theaters on October 1, 2027.<\/p>\n
