The superhero genre continues to be wildly popular, with a number of shared universes in play. While DC co-CEO James Gunn is crafting a new franchise (with the first slate of projects titled Gods and Monsters), Matt Reeves' The Batman franchise is set outside of it. Fans are curious about how that property, which is streaming with a HBO Max subscription, will expand with the long-awaited sequel, and now there's another rumor about who Sebastian Stan is playing.
What we know about The Batman: Part II has been limited, especially since it's not expected to arrive until 2027. But fans are hyped about Sebastian Stan's role, especially since his stylist hinted he might be playing Two-Face. But fans are theorizing about him playing another iconic Batman villain: The Mad Hatter.
