Earlier this month came the news that filmmaker Steven Soderbergh was stepping in to help Matt Reeves finish production on \u201cThe Batman: Part II\u201d after the latter had to step away due to family reasons.<\/p>\n

Soderbergh is handling the last third of the filming on set, communicating with Reeves as he does, and then Reeves will handle the post-production phase.<\/p>\n

Now, still out there speaking about \u201cPrimetime\u201d ahead of its international rollout in some key markets this coming weekend, actor Robert Pattinson spoke with GamesRadar+ about the behind-the-scenes switch:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so happy he\u2019s come on to help Matt. It\u2019s incredibly generous of him \u2013 and he\u2019s doing it in the loveliest way. It\u2019s completely selfless\u2026I 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

The production hit pause before the news broke about Soderbergh\u2019s involvement. Asked when filming would begin again, Pattinson said: \u201cI think they\u2019re in production already. And I\u2019m starting in a couple of days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Brian Tyree Henry, and Charles Dance are among those joining the cast of the new film alongside returnees Pattinson, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell and Jeffrey Wright.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Batman Part II\u201d is slated for a February 18th 2028 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warner Bros.
