"We’re supposed to see that script," says James Gunn about 'The Batman 2'; reveals the sequel is really important in the trilogy

‘The Batman’ sequel release might have gotten delayed by a year, but it’s only for the good. James Gunn stated that ‘The Batman II’ is really important in the trilogy, contrary to what the rumours might say.

'The Batman II' is important...

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, DC Studios Co-Chief dismissed the rumours that he cares about launching the David Corenswet-starrer new franchise ‘Superman,’ and not the established franchise to release the sequels. “What Matt’s doing is still really important, despite all stories to the contrary,” he said, before adding, “We’re supposed to see that script shortly, and I can’t wait.”

Robert Pattinson opened up about the sequel...

Previously, ‘The Batman’ star Robert Pattinson opened up about him being eager to get back in the black costume. While promoting his film ‘Mickey 17’ earlier this year, his co-star Naomi Ackie asked whether he was playing the role soon.

“I f—king hope so. I started out as young Batman, and I’m going to be f—king old Batman by the sequel. … I’m 38. I’m old,” he said. During the London premiere of the aforementioned film, Pattinson revealed that they would start the filming process by the end of 2025. “And I know what it’s about, but I can’t tell anyone. But it’s very cool. It’s very exciting,” he said, according to Variety.

James Gunn defends the 5-year gap...

About the five-year delay for the sequel, James Gunn previously defended the actions on social media.

He said, “To be fair, a 5-year gap or more is fairly common in sequels. 7 years between ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens.’ 14 years between ‘Incredibles.’ 7 years between the first two ‘Terminators.’ 13 years between ‘Avatars.’ 36 years between ‘Top Guns.’ And, of course, 6 years between ‘Guardians Vol 2’ and ‘Vol 3.’”“Matt [Reeves] is committed to making the best film he possibly can, and no one can accurately guess exactly how long a script will take to write. Once there is a finished script, there is around two years for pre-production, shooting and post-production on big films,” Gunn said in the separate post.
