has addressed rumors about being, denying the claims on social media. He clarified that the delays were due to the creative process, not any production issues.
This response comes amid growing speculation surrounding the film’s status in the DC Universe. James Gunn addressed rumors on social media and denied claims that The Batman – Part 2 had been canceled.
The rumors gained traction after reports of Robert Pattinson meeting with Marvel’s Kevin Feige, sparking speculation about his departure from the Batman role.
Pattinson’s recent signing for a new Christopher Nolan film, reportedly set to shoot next year, has fueled further doubts. This conflicts with the expected production start for The Batman – Part 2.
Responding directly to a post on Threads, Gunn stated, “Of course not. If it was canceled it would be canceled. Who has time for charades?” He further emphasized his long-standing support for director Matt Reeves, saying, “I’ve been one of Matt’s biggest cheerleaders for years – since Cloverfield and the Apes movies.” Gunn confirmed that DC Studios is “eagerly awaiting” Reeves’ script for the sequel, though he did not provide an exact timeline for its completion.
