Matt Reeves Shares The Batman 2 Casting Details
In a recent conversation with actor Josh Horowitz, filmmaker Matt Reeves revealed that the highly anticipated sequel will focus more on the character of Bruce Wayne in contrast to the first film, which was "so focused on Batman.” He also mentioned that while previous films have explored Wayne's background, The Batman 2 will offer a new perspective, revealing the man behind the mask in new ways.
Reeves said, "[In] a lot of the other films, which I love, once you get past the origin tale, which we didn’t quite do, but we did something that referred to his origins, then you start telling the Rogues Gallery story and that character’s sort of arch. But I never wanted to lose [Robert Pattinson] at the center of these stories, and so that is really what we set our aim on," as per Variety.
The Cloverfield director also shared that a new aspect of the film's sequel played a key part in the choice of the antagonist while scripting. He teased the details of The Batman 2, saying, “never really been done in a movie before.”
