Matt Reeves has made a statement regarding the postponement of The Batman 2 until 2027, but don’t worry, production on the follow-up film is planned to start towards the end of this year.

In a more casual and straightforward manner, it could be rephrased as: Robert Pattinson made his first appearance as the Dark Knight in The Batman back in 2022. Ever since its premiere, fans have been eagerly waiting for the sequel to hit the screens.

I’m sorry to say, they’ll need to be patient for quite some time. Originally planned for a release in October 2025, it’s now been delayed multiple times – first to 2026, then to 2027, and most recently to October 2027. That’s a five-year delay, but director James Gunn justifies it by pointing out examples like Alien and Aliens (a seven-year gap) and Avatar and The Way of Water (a 13-year span).

There’s been talk about what caused the delay. Some fans believe that Pattinson might take on the role of Batman in the DC Universe (which could suggest why The Brave and the Bold was postponed), while others have suggested that Reeves has been dealing with personal matters. It seems like the latter theory is correct.

Matt Reeves explains The Batman 2 delay

At the Golden Globes, when THR asked Reeves about the delay of The Batman 2, he explained that they’re still refining the script and juggling various aspects of production.

The upcoming year will focus on bringing our film to life in production, and we’re incredibly eager for this stage!

There’s an indication that Keanu Reeves’ personal circumstances might have contributed to the movie’s postponement, although the specifics remain unknown. However, it’s best not to guess about these matters – they are merely part of a film production. In an interview with Deadline, Reeves shared, “There’s been quite a bit happening in my life over the past year or so, and Colin Farrell has been an exceptional friend. He’s truly a remarkable individual.

As an ardent enthusiast, let me share that he emphasized our shared anticipation for “we’ll be filming this year, and we’re thrilled about it.” Unfortunately, I’m sworn to secrecy regarding the details, but trust me, the enthusiasm among us is palpable!

As a gamer, my real-life world is quite busy these days, filled with challenges that demand my attention. And honestly, it seems like the speculations about Reeves’ personal delays in scriptwriting might just be spot on. There are moments when life takes precedence over entertainment, and I truly appreciate James Gunn and Safran for giving Matt the space he needs to focus on his film.

Let’s carry on with our tale… I can hardly wait to reunite our talented cast, bring in fresh faces, and share this excitement with everyone!

I’m thrilled because it seems as though we’re building upon the original narrative, yet I believe the outcome will leave readers in a state of genuine astonishment.

Reports have varied regarding the production’s developments on the movie set, and there’s ambiguity about the current state of the sequel’s screenplay. Gunn clarified that the reason for the delay is simply because a complete script hasn’t been written yet (if you keep up with me, this likely isn’t new information).

He noted on Threads that after a script has been completed, it typically takes about two years for the pre-production, filming, and post-production process in large films.
