\n\tScarlett Johansson<\/a> is opening up about her mysterious role in The Batman<\/a> Part II, revealing that the part gave her \u201ca lot of existential angst.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an interview with Entertainment Tonight,<\/a> published Wednesday, the actress was asked about her upcoming projects, The Exorcist: Martyrs and The Batman Part II, and which role pushed her furthest out of her comfort zone.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cProbably the role in The Batman,\u201d she responded. \u201cIt gave me a lot of existential angst for some reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJohansson went on to explain that the role was particularly difficult to figure out, though she wasn\u2019t sure exactly why.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was very hard to figure out. I don\u2019t know why, whether it was just the role or was just where I\u2019m in my life, or what\u2019s going on, but it was just hard to crack it. And that\u2019s all I can say about it. It was a tough role in a lot of ways,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirector Matt Reeves<\/a> confirmed in May that Johansson would be joining the sequel to his 2022 film, which stars Robert Pattinson<\/a> as Bruce Wayne\/Batman. However, details about the character she will portray have yet to be revealed.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Johansson, new additions to the sequel\u2019s cast include Sebastian Stan<\/a>, Charles Dance as well as Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch. (See the full cast here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\n\tProduction on The Batman Part II briefly paused in October<\/a> after Reeves stepped away to attend to a family matter, according to DC Studios. Later that month, Steven Soderbergh (Ocean\u2019s Eleven, Traffic) stepped in, with the studio\u2019s support, to help Reeves complete<\/a> the final stretch of principal photography. <\/p>\n
