Production on The Batman Part II has come to a halt after director Matt Reeves stepped away for a family matter. Variety Australia, The Hollywood Reporter, and Deadline all confirmed the news on 5 October 2026.
The stoppage adds to scheduling worries already hanging over the sequel. Cast member Sebastian Stan, who recently discussed how playing Donald Trump earned him a role in the film, had been actively involved before the pause. No timeline for a resumption has been confirmed.
