Colin Farrell Praises Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II Script as Masterwork Ahead of 2027 Release

Colin Farrell has highly praised the script for Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II, calling it a "masterwork" and highlighting its intelligence, depth, and emotional complexity. Farrell, who reprises his role as The Penguin, emphasized that the story offers Robert Pattinson's Batman a compelling and personal journey, raising expectations for the sequel. The film, originally slated for 2026, was delayed with filming now set to begin in early 2026 and an official release date of October 1, 2027.

Fans eagerly await the return of Pattinson's Batman to see how Reeves expands this unique Gotham universe.
