New Rumor Claims THE BATMAN PART II Will Not Be Welcoming Back an Expected Star
Fans had a long wait from the time Matt Reeves’s The Batman was announced to when it actually hit the screen, and right now we are looking at a five year gap between the first film, and its follow-up, The Batman: Part II.
There was no news on the sequel for quite a while, but this past June, it was announced that the script had been finished, and the film would be on the shooting schedule for next spring, about a year and a half out from the movie’s scheduled release date. Slow and steady, but headed in the right direction.
Now, a new rumor has surfaced that puts a small damper on the long-awaited film, and that is the possible non-return of one actor from the first movie that was well-received by the fans - Zoë Kravitz, who played Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman.
On the podcast The Hot Mic, industry insider Jeff Sneider shared that publicists at the junket for the upcoming film Caught Stealing (which stars Kravitz) asked media members to refrain from asking the actress questions about The Batman Part II.
The reasoning given was “she’s not in it and doesn’t know anything.” Sneider himself notes this isn’t officially confirmed. This could have just been a way to get press to focus on the project at hand, and who knows? Filming is still so far off, maybe Kravitz’s contract just hasn’t been fully negotiated for her return.
We will just have to wait and see, but I do hope to see her character return.
