\n\tRobert Pattinson<\/a> recently told GamesRadar+<\/a> that he is looking forward to finishing production on \u201cThe Batman Part II\u201d with Steven Soderbergh<\/a> taking over principal photography from Matt Reeves<\/a>, who left set<\/a> earlier this month due to a family matter.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am so happy he\u2019s come on to help Matt,\u201d Pattinson said of Soderbergh. \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly generous of him \u2013 and he\u2019s doing it in the loveliest way. It\u2019s completely selfless. I think Matt had put so much work into the script, and we\u2019re almost done. So for someone to come in and say, \u2018I just want to help Matt do it; I want to do it in conjunction with him and just get it to the edit.\u2019 And to have someone who\u2019s as talented as Steven doing it is great.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked when filming would start up again, Pattinson responded: \u201cI think they\u2019re in production already. And I\u2019m starting in a couple of days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWarner Bros. announced Oct. 5 that Reeves needed to take a step back from filming due to a family matter, but no specific reason was given for his leave nor has there been any update 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 studio rep said at the time. \u201cMatt has the full support of DC Studios and we look forward to continuing the journey soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReeves took to his X<\/a> profile shortly after to clarify that he very much remains the director of \u201cThe Batman Part II,\u201d explaining: \u201cJust to be clear, I am not leaving \u2018The Batman Part II.\u2019 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

\n\tDC Studios co-chief James Gunn also informed fans of the change on Threads<\/a> by writing: \u201cMatt is still the director of \u2018The Batman 2<\/a>\u2018 and always will be. I can\u2019t express how profoundly grateful and moved we are by Steven\u2019s offer to help him complete his vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI thought Matt Reeves\u2019 work on \u2018The Batman\u2019 was stunning; it was intentional, specific, and rigorously coherent,\u201d Soderbergh added in his own<\/a> statement. \u201cThe 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

\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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Pattinson recently told GamesRadar+ that he is looking forward to finishing production on \u201cThe Batman Part II\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":657742,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,16296,397,13305,6588,16297],"class_list":["post-657741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-matt-reeves","tag-movies","tag-robert-pattinson","tag-steven-soderbergh","tag-the-batman-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/657742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
