Scarlett Johansson can\u2019t stop, won\u2019t stop starring in major movie franchises. The former Marvel star, fresh off a box-office success with Jurassic World: Rebirth<\/a>, is now in talks to star in Matt Reeves\u2019s The Batman: Part II, according to Variety<\/a>. There is no confirmation yet on who the two-time Oscar nominee would play in the film. The first movie in the series kept the world grounded in a \u201cnoir\u201d version of reality \u2014 the villains were Paul Dano\u2019s the Riddler and Colin Farrell\u2019s the Penguin, neither of whom had superpowers. That might rule out characters like Poison Ivy, who is a plant-human hybrid. The end of the film teased Barry Keoghan as the Joker<\/a>, so he\u2019ll presumably play a major role in the upcoming film. Could ScarJo be taking on Harley Quinn? Or maybe she\u2019ll follow in Nicole Kidman\u2019s footsteps as Dr. Chase Meridian?<\/p>\n There\u2019s room for a new love interest for Robert Pattinson\u2019s Batman. Variety also reports that Zo\u00eb Kravitz isn\u2019t expected to return to the film as Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman. Bad news for fans of strutting and slinky black dresses<\/a>. The sadly Kravitz-less noir sequel is scheduled to come out October 1, 2027 \u2014 five and a half years after the first film came out in theaters in March 2022. \u201cWe\u2019ll be making the movie in the spring,\u201d Reeves told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> this September. \u201cIt\u2019s been a journey that is taking longer than I would\u2019ve wanted for a lot of reasons, a lot of personal reasons, but most important reason is getting it to a place where I just felt like it was the best script we could possibly write.\u201d He could always ask ScarJo for notes \u2014 she knows her way around a sequel.<\/p>\n Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who will she be?
