The role of Sebastian Stan in the film The Batman 2 has been confirmed.

The Marvel actor has officially joined Matt Reeves' sequel.

Information regarding Sebastian Stan's addition to the cast of The Batman 2 has been officially confirmed. The actor will play District Attorney Harvey Dent—one of the key characters in Batman's mythology.

The confirmation puts an end to months of rumors actively discussed within fan circles and specialized media, immediately sparking a new wave of discussions about Dent's role in the continuation of the Dark Knight's story.

Confirmation from The Hollywood Reporter

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Sebastian Stan has indeed been cast as Harvey Dent in the sequel to The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves. Previously, this information had circulated only at the level of insider leaks and speculation.

At this time, the studio has not disclosed details of the character's storyline or clarified whether his transformation into the iconic villain Two-Face will occur within the second film.

Harvey Dent's Possible Role in the Plot

The question of Harvey Dent's transformation remains open. According to media-discussed leaks, the film's primary focus may be less on the prosecutor himself and more on his wife—Gilda Dent.

Based on fan theories, this character could turn out to be either the killer Holiday or a new interpretation of the Phantasm. For the role of Gilda, unconfirmed reports suggest Scarlett Johansson is under consideration, though no official statements have been made on the matter.

A New Take on Two-Face

The character of Two-Face has appeared in film before—in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight (2008). In that film, Harvey Dent's transformation into a villain occurred closer to the finale and occupied relatively limited screen time.

Based on available information, Matt Reeves' approach is likely to be more detailed and psychologically nuanced, making Harvey Dent's storyline one of the main points of intrigue for The Batman 2.

A New Stage in Sebastian Stan's Career

For Sebastian Stan, widely known for his role as Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, participation in a DC project marks a notable career shift and a serious dramatic challenge.

Previously, the actor had evasively responded to questions about potential involvement in the Batman film, noting only that he felt an affinity for the Riddler—a role already cast in the first film.

Film Release Date

The premiere of The Batman 2 is scheduled for October 1, 2027.
