What’s Happening

Here’s the thing: The fandom looking forward to The Batman Part II no longer have to debate who Sebastian Stan will be playing in Matt Reeves’ new film.

Movies Superhero Movies Sebastian Stan’s The Batman Part II Role Has Been spilled (And It’s immaculate) By Bill Bria Jan. 9, 2026 7:17 pm EST Marvel Studios Matt Reeves’ ā€œThe Batman Part IIā€ continues to gain momentum as 2026 gets underway, as one casting announcement follows another. (yes, really)

Just, Sebastian Stan has joined Scarlett Johansson as the newest thespians to enter Reeves’ Gotham City (and, ironically, both are veterans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe), and as soon as word of their involvement broke out, there has been rampant speculation about who they’re playing .

The Details

The mystery surrounding Johansson’s character is still active, but now we can officially put the rumors about Stan’s role to bed. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heatvision , Stan will indeed be portraying Harvey Dent, the idealistic District Attorney whose destiny it is to have his face horribly scarred, which breaks his psyche and transforms him into the villainous Two-Face.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any more details beyond that, so we can’t say whether Stan will get to play the coin-flipping menace in ā€œPart IIā€ proper, or whether he’ll be plain old Harvey for the majority of the film. Given the involvement of Johansson as well as the expected return of Barry Keoghan as the Joker , there may be too much going on for Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne to also deal with Big rough Harv.

Why This Matters

Still, there’s a good chance that Stan’s casting implies that he’ll get to give his take on the classic villain, if for no better reason than the actor is immaculate for the role, especially given his recent work. Whatever the case may be, this news is further confirmation that ā€œThe Batman Part IIā€ is shaping up to be just as exciting and special as its predecessor. Sebastian Stan is a solid choice for Two-Face Searchlight Pictures It’s true that Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, has, like so many ā€œBatmanā€ characters including the Caped Crusader himself, been represented on the big screen multiple times over.

This is exactly the kind of news that gets fans excited or concerned.

The Bottom Line

Sebastian Stan is a solid choice for Two-Face Searchlight Pictures It’s true that Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, has, like so many ā€œBatmanā€ characters including the Caped Crusader himself, been represented on the big screen multiple times over.
