Colin Farrell Is About To Read The Batman Part II Script, And He Explained Why The Wait Has Been Worth It

by

The comic book genre remains a favorite, with some characters existing beyond the main movie universes. Notably, Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” isn’t part of DCU’s initial lineup (Gods and Monsters), giving it freedom to tell its unique tale. Delayed for quite some time, this upcoming sequel is eagerly awaited in the DC world, as Colin Farrell recently explained why it will be worth the wait. Indeed, he has finally received the script.

Information on “The Batman: Part II” is still scarce, but fans who have followed the DC movie series diligently over the years, particularly those with an HBO Max subscription, feel invested, especially after the TV spinoff “The Penguin” was released featuring Colin Farrell in his portrayal of the beloved DC villain. Recently, Colin Farrell spoke to MTV about the progress of “Part II.” Firstly, he revealed details about the film’s development.

Tomorrow evening, I’ll be among the fortunate few who get to enjoy it. It’s waiting for me at home, and I’m eagerly anticipating diving into it.

Have you noticed that sound? It seems like DC fans are jubilantly celebrating everywhere because the script for “The Batman 2” is finally completed. With the cast now getting a glimpse of it, Matt Reeves’ sequel appears more tangible than ever before. Here’s hoping we uncover some plot details about this exciting upcoming film sooner rather than later.

The second installment of “The Batman,” originally titled as such, has faced multiple postponements due to script revisions. Thus, its current distribution progress is an exciting milestone. Regrettably, during this interview, Mr. Farrell hadn’t had a chance to read the script yet, so he couldn’t provide any sneak peeks about the cast. However, the 49-year-old actor did express his belief that the sequel will prove worthwhile for waiting fans, providing:

I have great admiration for Matt Reeves; I believe he’s exceptionally talented. His work has been eagerly anticipated by many, with some questioning the delays. However, it’s worth noting that most filmmakers value their projects deeply. In Matt’s case, his meticulousness suggests a profound appreciation for the responsibility of bringing films to life. I can hardly wait, and tomorrow evening I plan to brew some tea, settle into a comfortable spot, and immerse myself in his latest work.

The arguments presented were valid. Contrary to speculation, Reeves and James Gunn didn’t rush into producing a sequel to The Batman based on a mediocre screenplay. Instead, they dedicated their time to refining the plot for Part II, ensuring it was well-structured before moving forward. At this stage, only a select few, including Farrell, have been granted the opportunity to read the script.

The ending of “The Penguin” hinted at a forthcoming reunion between Farrell’s character and Robert Pattinson’s Batman, as the Bat-signal illuminated above Gotham City. Viewers who tuned in are eagerly anticipating whether these scenes could link to “The Batman: Part II,” while I personally hope that Cristin Miloti’s Sofia Falcone might make an appearance, considering her recent Emmy Award nomination for her exceptional performance.

Fans of DC Comics can expect their questions answered when “The Batman: Part II” arrives in theaters on October 1, 2027. In the meantime, eager fans might want to refresh their memories by re-watching the original and “The Penguin” on HBO Max.
