By Matt Reeves’ “The Batman Part II” has been delayed a full year – pushed back from October 3rd 2025 to October 2nd 2026.
DC insiders say the delay of the Robert Pattinson-led film is related to last year’s strikes. The film, which has yet to begin filming, was announced almost two years ago with Mattson Tomlin co-writing the film with Reeves.
The first film had the second best opening of the pandemic with a $134 million domestic debut ahead of a global haul of $770.3 million.
It marked the biggest change on the Warner Bros. Pictures release calendar today which saw several other titles get shifted.
The Maggie Gyllenhaal-directed “The Bride!,” starring Christian Bale, will take over the old October 2025 “Batman” slot. In addition, Barry Levinson’s gangster film “Alto Nights” with Robert De Niro is being delayed from five months to March 21st 2025.
Finally Paul Thomas Anderson’s untitled next film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, has landed an August 8th 2025 release date. All the titles mentioned above are going for IMAX releases as well.
