Sebastian Stan confirmed he is playing Harvey Dent in The Batman Part 2, directed by Matt Reeves and scheduled for release on February 18, 2028 [1, 2, 3]. Stan revealed his casting in a recent French interview, following initial confirmation in May 2026 [1, 2, 3].
Stan also noted he cannot share plot details due to secrecy clauses. "I've been following this rule for fifteen years, I'm used to it. I also can't say anything about The Batman: Part 2, by Matt Reeves, where I play Harvey Dent," he said [1]. He added that for Avengers: Doomsday, he had no full script and filmed scattered scenes to limit leaks. "Frankly, I have absolutely no idea. Because we didn't have a script. We were just shooting scattered scenes. It's a different way of working, continuous, constantly evolving," Stan explained [2].
Scarlett Johansson is reportedly involved in the film as Gilda Dent, Harvey Dent’s wife, although this remains unconfirmed [1, 3]. Charles Dance is rumored to play Charles Dent, Harvey’s father [1, 3]. Bryan Tyree Henry may appear as Detective Harvey Bullock, but this casting is uncertain [3].
Returning actors confirmed include Robert Pattinson as Batman, Colin Farrell as Penguin, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, and Andy Serkis as Alfred [1, 2]. Barry Keoghan is speculated to reprise his role as the Joker [1].
Besides The Batman sequel, Stan will reprise his role as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier in Avengers: Doomsday, set for release December 18, 2026 [1, 2, 3].
The Batman Part 2 continues to maintain a tight lid on story details as production progresses, with the release scheduled for February 18, 2028 [1, 2, 3].
