by

Rumors about Scarlett Johansson‘s potential part in The Batman Part 2 are gaining traction with the latest news. As more information about the movie’s production comes out, we’re getting a clearer picture of what to anticipate – and what isn’t happening.

Don’t expect Scarlett Johansson to play Poison Ivy in The Batman Part 2

I’m so excited! It sounds like Scarlett Johansson is really close to joining the cast of the next Batman movie. Several sources, including Jeff Sneider and The Hollywood Reporter, are saying it’s happening. Sneider’s hinted that she might be Bruce Wayne’s new love interest, but with a twist – apparently the role is going to turn out to be a villain! I can’t wait to see what they do with that.

Sneider later added definitively, “Won’t be Poison Ivy, by the way.”

There was early talk that Scarlett Johansson might play Poison Ivy in the upcoming film, but that idea seems to have been dismissed. News first broke on Nexus Point News about Johansson being considered, and this was later confirmed by Sneider. Grace Randolph added that Johansson’s character is likely a villain, not simply a romantic partner.

Scarlett Johansson, known for playing Black Widow in Marvel movies, is now joining the DC Universe with a role in the upcoming The Batman – Part 2. Warner Bros. hasn’t announced who she’ll be playing, but fans are guessing she might be characters like Andrea Beaumont (also known as Phantasm), Jessica Dent, or Lady Arkham.

Director Matt Reeves has suggested the next Batman villain will be unlike any seen before in a film, sparking fan theories about which obscure character might be chosen. Adding to this speculation, co-writer Mattson Tomlin revealed that Mask of the Phantasm is his favorite Batman movie, hinting at a possible connection to that character.

Johansson is putting the finishing touches on the planning for two upcoming films: the sequel to The Batman and a new Exorcist movie. According to Justin Kroll, filming for both is expected to begin next year, meaning the schedule is almost set. Warner Bros. has announced an October 1, 2027 release date. Robert Pattinson will return as the lead in The Batman – Part 2, and sources say he liked the script, which the studio delivered with extra security.
