Clarifications Surrounding The Batman 2 Amid Dune 3 Casting Rumors
The future of The Batman 2 is becoming clearer following reports regarding Robert Pattinson’s possible involvement in the anticipated Dune 3. Speculation about potential delays or cancellations of the DC sequel had been swirling, fueled by Pattinson being considered for a significant role in the new installment of the Dune franchise.
To address the situation, industry insider Justin Kroll took to social media to clarify the impact of the Dune 3 shoot on The Batman 2. Kroll stated:
Little clarity as there seems to be some confusion. This film will shoot this summer and like THE ODYSSEY, is an ensemble pic where Patz could shoot over in reasonable time and have it not affect BATMAN 2, whenever that goes into production https://t.co/W31k9OtATM — Justin Kroll (@krolljvar) April 8, 2025
Kroll noted that Dune 3 is expected to commence filming this summer, while The Batman 2 is projected to start production toward late 2025. As of the latest updates, neither Legendary Pictures, which is behind the Dune films, nor Warner Bros. Discovery, the distributor, has issued a comment on Pattinson’s casting for Dune 3.
