Matt Reeves couldn’t say much about The Batman II, other than “I can tell you that we’ll be shooting this year.”

His confirmation of this comes in the wake the film being pushed from Oct. 2, 2026 to Oct. 1, 2027. Deadline had heard through sources previously that the sequel to the $772M-plus grossing 2022 movie was lensing this summer. Given the VFX heavy movie, 2027 is a doable deadline.

“We’re doing something where the story continues from, but I hope that people will be surprised by,” said Reeves.

The Batman spinoff Max series, The Penguin, is up for three Golden Globes tonight including Best Limited/Anthology Series, Best Actor Limited/Anthology Series — Colin Farrell, and Best Actress Limited/Anthology Series — Cristin Milioti. The series notched the third-most-watched HBO or Max debut season around the world following The House of the Dragon and The Last of Us.

Reeves has previously confirmed in reports that Farrell will reprise his role as the Penguin in the sequel, and that the sequel will be part of a trilogy.

Reeves and his 6th & Idaho production company became the initial first look deal inked by Warner Bros Pictures Group Co-Chairs/CEOs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy in August 2022 after their hire.
