Scarlett Johansson is known for a variety of roles, but she’s also become a major star in big-budget franchise films. Besides playing Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years, she’s recently voiced a character in a Transformers movie and appeared in Jurassic World: Rebirth, facing off against dinosaurs. She’s also set to star in Mike Flanagan’s new Exorcist film. Now, reports indicate she’s expanding into the DC Universe, as she’s in discussions to join the cast of The Batman Part II.
It’s still unknown what role she’ll have in the new movie – whether she’ll play a hero or a villain – but The Hollywood Reporter says she’s in talks to join the project. If she signs on, she’ll be acting alongside a talented cast including Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Andy Serkis, and Barry Keoghan.
Details about the story of The Batman: Part II are scarce, and it’s still a mystery what role Scarlett Johansson will play. The movie will continue the story after the events of the first film, where The Riddler tried to flood Gotham City, but we don’t yet know what the main plot will be or who the new villain will be. Until official news comes out, fans will likely continue to speculate about potential characters, including villains like Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, or supporting characters like Leslie Thompkins and Vicki Vale.
The next Batman movie was announced almost four years ago, and while its release date has shifted a couple of times, filming is now set to start in 2026. The movie is currently planned to come out on October 1, 2027.
2025 was a successful year for Johansson, and she’s continuing that momentum into 2026. She starred in the summer blockbuster Jurassic World: Rebirth and made her directorial debut in the fall with the drama Eleanor The Great, featuring June Squibb. According to industry reports, she’ll finish work on the upcoming Exorcist movie—which doesn’t have a release date yet—before starting a new project set in Gotham.
We’re expecting more news about the cast of The Batman Part II soon, and as it’s released, we’ll share details about what you can expect from the new DC film. Stay tuned to TopMob in the coming weeks and months for the latest updates and features on this exciting movie.
