Although we know a list of actors who have joined Batman Part II, finally filming, finally with a release date that will hopefully hold (February 18, 2028), it has yet to be confirmed who those actors will play. Well, so far, in one case.
In a new interview with the French media Le Journal du Dimanche, Sebastian Stan confirms once and for all that he will play Harvey Dent in Batman Part II, ending speculation that he had that role or, instead, serial killer Victor Zsasz theorized when Stan was seen with a shaved head. This is what he told the outlet, mentioning Batman: Part II while talking about Avengers: Judgment Day:
We were just filming scattered scenes. [in Doomsday]. It is a different way of working, continuous, constantly evolving. The producers didn’t want us to read it in full, to avoid journalists asking us questions. I’ve been following this rule for fifteen years, I’m used to it. I also can’t say anything about Batman: Part II by Matt Reeves, where I play Harvey Dent. The beauty of this profession also lies in participating in projects of this scale, something I love as a viewer.”

Other actors have been confirmed for the project. One, Game of Thrones’ Charles Dance is rumored to be Dent’s father, Christopher Dent. Bryan Tyree Henry could play the film’s second Harvey, Detective Harvey Bullock. One of the most surprising rumors is that Scarlett Johansson will be the main villain of the film, playing a version of Poison Ivy in the style of Matt Reeves.
But now Stan is the only confirmed role, given that it belongs to the man himself. Previous actors who have played Harvey Dent/Two-Face include Aaron Eckhart in The dark knight, Nicolás D’Agosto in gothic city and Tommy Lee Jones in batman forever. In animation, Two-Face has been portrayed by Billy Dee Williams, Misha Collins, Richard Moll, Troy Baker, Neil Patrick Harris, James Remar, Christopher McDonald, and Diedrich Bader, among others, over the years.
The obvious notion here is that Dent will become Two-Face throughout the film. There are several versions of how Dent becomes Two-Face, including an acid attack, a chemical explosion, and an explosion in The dark knight. Is this possible No happen, and Reeves might be saving it for a third movie, but it’s a little hard to imagine he’d include Dent just to have him as the district attorney. That said, Reeves often does the unexpected with his characters in this universe. In less than two years we will know when Batman part II is released, unless there are further delays.
