James Gunn reveals reason behind delaying Batman II release
DC Studios co-chairman and co-CEO James Gunn has revealed that they decided to postpone the much-awaited The Batman Part II since the script of the movie has not been completed.
In his Thread post, Gunn wrote: "Yes, it is true. The only reason for the delay is there isn’t a full script (those of you who follow me here probably know that already). Matt is committed to making the best film he possibly can, and no one can accurately guess exactly how long a script will take to write."
The superhero action movie has now been pushed to 2027, a decision that has left several fans disappointed.
Gunn said: "Once there is a finished script, there is around two years for pre-production, shooting and post-production on big films. TheBatman2."
If media reports are to be believed, the movie is now scheduled to hit the silverscreen on Oct 1, 2027.
Production isn’t scheduled to get started until late summer and with a VFX heavy sequel such as this one, a fall 2026 theatrical release is within reach, reported Deadline.
The sequel will once again feature Robert Pattinson in the titular role.
The Batman movie, featuring Pattinson in the lead role, playing the superhero for the first time in his career, released in 2022.
Directed by Matt Reeves from a screenplay he wrote with Peter Craig, it was a reboot of the Batman film franchise produced by DC Films.
