Ocean’s 11 director Steven Soderbergh has been hired to finish filming The Batman Part II<\/a> while Matt Reeves attends to a family matter.<\/p>\n It was reported earlier this month that The Batman Part II director Matt Reeves was abruptly stepping away from the project<\/a> to attend to personal matters. This left the film in a strange state of limbo, but DC boss Peter Safran recently told IGN that the project would be finished<\/a>. Now we know how. Warner Bros. confirmed to Deadline<\/a> that Ocean’s 11 director Steven Soderbergh will helm and complete the superhero sequel during its final weeks of production.<\/p>\n \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 to help the writer-director complete the final weeks of principal photography on The Batman Part II,” a WB rep told Deadline. “Matt and Steven will work closely together with the actors and crew to fulfill Matt\u2019s vision of the film.\u201d<\/p>\n The Batman: Part II – Who’s Who in Matt Reeves’ DC Sequel Soderbergh is working directly with Matt Reeves during this process, with Deadline reporter Justin Kroll noting that Reeves is working on the film remotely from his home. Once the movie is wrapped, Soderbergh will hand things back over to Reeves so he can handle the post-production process. The goal is to finish Reeves’ original vision for the sequel as opposed to having Soderbergh do something radically different.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought Matt Reeves\u2019 work on The Batman was stunning; it was intentional, specific, and rigorously coherent,” said Soderbergh. “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>\n
