Scarlett Johansson has reportedly begun final negotiations with Warner Bros. regarding a role in "Batman 2," although no decision has been reached yet. When there are rumours concerning a possible collaboration between Scarlett Johansson and the Batman franchise, thoughts race as to what she could do within the Matt Reeves universe, especially since she has spent almost a decade as the Marvel character, Black Widow. No information has been leaked regarding the nature of the character or what may happen in the sequel since the screenplay is classified.
Scarlett Johansson's rumoured casting in the sequel to The Batman has sparked several theories among fans. According to reports, Zoë Kravitz will not reprise her role as Selina Kyle in the upcoming sequel, so there seems to be an opportunity for a significant female character in this sequel. Fans believe that it could be that Scarlett Johansson is going to play Poison Ivy, one of Batman's greatest villains, or Andrea Beaumont (Phantasm), who is a fan favourite. No confirmation has yet been given regarding either role that Scarlett Johansson is associated with; however, industry sources say her role will be large and integral to the film's overall storyline.
Robert Pattinson will reprise his position as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves' series of films focused on Batman's more grounded version of Gotham City. Industry insiders report that Johansson has entered discussions about the film at this point; production is currently scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026, with an expected release in October of 2027. Nonetheless, speculation regarding Scarlett Johansson's potential role in the sequel to The Batman has ramped up on social media, making this storyline one of the most discussed stories coming out of Hollywood in recent weeks.
The studio is taking a serious look at the long-term consequences of Johansson’s role in the Reeves (Batman) universe. As previously indicated, Reeves intends for his version of Batman to be part of a multi-movie arc and, therefore, the long-term benefits and ramifications of casting Johansson are being weighed seriously.
