The sequel to Matt Reeves’ acclaimed 2022 film, ‘The Batman,’ was originally supposed to arrive in theaters in 2025. Eager Robert Pattinson fans will have to wait even longer to see the actor reprise his role as the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves’s long-awaited The Batman sequel.
The Batman: Part 2 — the follow-up to Reeves’s acclaimed 2022 DC superhero noir, which starred Pattinson as the titular superhero opposite Zoë Kravitz as his lover Seline Kyle — was originally slated to release in theaters on October 3, 2025. Its release ended up getting pushed back by a full year to October 2, 2026, due to the 2023 Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strikes. Instead, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, starring former Batman star Christian Bale, will open on the sequel’s initial October 2025 release date.
However, in a new update, Warner Bros. announced on Friday (December 27) that The Batman: Part 2 won’t be out in theaters until October 1, 2027. The studio didn’t give a reason for the scheduling adjustment, though they revealed that the shift had left an opening for a new, untitled Alejandro G. Iñárritu and Tom Cruise film to take the vacated October 2, 2026 opening Imax slot instead.
While details about director Iñárritu’s forthcoming movie remain under wraps, Warner Bros teased the film’s logline. Starring Cruise as “the most powerful man in the world,” the movie follows his character as he “embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.”.
