Gotham City is welcoming a few new faces as production on The Batman: Part II gets underway.
After Deadline reported that Sebastian Stan was in talks to join the sequel as Harvey Dent (aka Two-Face) and Scarlett Johansson was also eyeing a role, writer and director Matt Reeves confirmed his casting on social media with a GIF, along with several new cast members.
“In a Gotham state of mind… Welcome,” wrote Reeves with Stan’s announcement.
