Robert Pattinson will return as Batman in the highly anticipated sequel to The Batman. Following the story established in The Penguin TV series, the film will continue the adventures in this universe, and is scheduled for release in 2027.

With Scarlett Johansson reportedly joining the cast of the upcoming Batman – Part II, fans are speculating about her role. Many believe she could play Andrea Beaumont, also known as the Phantasm, a character originally from Batman: The Animated Series. One fan account, @dccommunityofbengal, even shared an image imagining what Johansson might look like as the complex anti-hero.

RoyalMaj3sty posted fan art showing Scarlett Johansson as the Phantasm in The Batman – Part II. The artwork reimagines the character’s costume to match the style of Matt Reeves’ Batman films. You can see the design below.

On December 3, 2025, a well-known actor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe was added to the cast of The Batman – Part II, becoming the newest member of director Matt Reeves’ film series. Colin Farrell will reprise his role as Oz Cobb, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth and Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon will also return.

Filming is expected to start in May 2026. While the full cast for The Batman – Part II hasn’t been announced, Zoë Kravitz likely won’t be returning as Catwoman, although DC Studios hasn’t officially confirmed this yet.

Andrea Vesper first appeared in the animated film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm in 1993, with Dana Delany providing the voice for the character. While she debuted in DC Comics much later, in 2020, writer Tom King officially added her to the DC Universe through his Batman/Catwoman comic book series.

DC Studios has set The Batman – Part II to release on October 1, 2027.
