Scarlett Johansson reportedly in talks for ‘The Batman Part II’ as fans speculate on possible role

Scarlett Johansson is reportedly in final negotiations to join The Batman Part II, prompting widespread speculation about the character she may portray.

Rumours began circulating online in recent hours, and Deadline has now stated that the 41-year-old actress is in “final negotiations with the studio and director Matt Reeves” for a role in the anticipated sequel.

The production has not revealed which character Johansson is being considered for, leaving fans to exchange guesses across Reddit threads and social platforms. Popular suggestions include Andrea Beaumont, also known as The Phantasm, a character long associated with emotionally complex storylines, and Poison Ivy, one of Gotham’s most recognisable figures.

Robert Pattinson is set to return as Bruce Wayne and Batman, continuing the darker interpretation launched in the first film. However, it is still unknown whether Zoe Kravitz will reprise her role as Selina Kyle, a detail that has added further curiosity to fan theories about the film’s direction and casting needs.

The Batman Part II is currently scheduled for release on October 1, 2027. As discussions continue behind the scenes, observers have noted which cast members are unlikely to return and which ones are confirmed, adding to the growing anticipation surrounding the project.

With Johansson’s potential addition to the franchise, interest in the sequel has increased significantly. Fans continue to debate which storyline Reeves may explore next and how a new character could fit into the established tone of the series.

The studio has not commented publicly on the reported negotiations, and Johansson’s team has also remained silent. Until an official announcement is made, speculation is likely to continue as audiences wait to see how the casting develops for one of the most anticipated films of the decade.
