“The only reason for the delay is there isn't a full script (those of you who follow me here probably know that already). Matt is committed to making the best film he possibly can, and no one can accurately guess exactly how long a script will take to write. Once there is a finished script, there is around two years for pre-production, shooting and post-production on big films,” James Gunn posted on X.
The Batman Part II would be premiering on October 1, 2027. The sequel will see Robert Pattinson returning to the titular role.
'To be fair...'
The DC Studios Chairman also defended the delay stating that a gap of five years or more is usually common within sequels.
“To be fair, a 5 year gap or more is fairly common in sequels,” Gunn wrote on Threads.“7 years between Alien and Aliens. 14 years between Incredibles. 7 years between the first two Terminators. 13 years between Avatars. 36 years between Top Guns. And, of course, 6 years between Guardians Vol 2 and Vol 3," Gunn elaborated his response.
