The Batman Part II has become a sort of white whale in the superhero space. Fans have been eager to see Matt Reeves’ sequel ever since The Batman first debuted in 2022, and have spent the ensuing years imagining countless villains and storylines that could make their way into the movie.
Even amid those years of speculation, I guarantee you that nobody could see the latest piece of actual news coming. On Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed chatter (originally from Nexus Point News) that Scarlett Johansson is in “final negotiations” to join The Batman Part II. While that does not mean that she is officially signed on to the part, she would reportedly shoot the project after working on Mike Flanagan’s upcoming Exorcist reboot.
