Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell has opened up about his return in Matt Reeves‘ long-awaited DC sequel The Batman Part II. The movie is still slated to premiere in theaters on October 1, 2027, more than five years after the first installment was released.

What did Colin Farrell say about The Batman Part II?

During a recent interview with THR, Farrell confirmed that he had already read the screenplay for The Batman Part II, which was co-written by Reeves and Mattson Tomlin. He admitted that his appearance in the sequel will be much shorter compared to the first installment.

“I’ve got an even smaller role in this one,” he said. “But I’m OK with that . . . I’ve read the script, from start to finish, and I can’t say much about it. But it’s deeper, scarier, the stakes are bigger. I’m really excited to see it.”

For his leading performance in the HBO miniseries The Penguin, Farrell won an Emmy Award for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television. Despite the show’s critical success, HBO and DC Studios haven’t made any announcements about its potential future.

The Batman Part II will be directed by Reeves, who co-wrote the screenplay with Tomlin, based on the DC characters created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane. Further details about its plot and new characters are still being kept under wraps. The Twilight Saga star Robert Pattinson will be reprising his role as Bruce Wayne/The Batman along with Andy Serkis as Alfred and Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon. Production is expected to start at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in London, UK, on January 1, 2026.
