Andy Serkis will be Back for ‘The Batman: Part II’

Preview:

• Andy Serkis is returning for ‘The Batman: Part II.’
• He’ll be back as Alfred Pennyworth.
• Matt Reeves is once more directing.

While Andy Serkis already has one big movie job he’s busy with –– that would be preparing to direct and play Gollum once again in new ‘Lord of the Rings’ film ‘The Hunt for Gollum’, (not to mention promoting his animated ‘Animal Farm’) he’ll apparently find time in his schedule to revisit another previous gig.

According to Collider, Serkis will be back as Bruce Wayne’s (Robert Pattinson) loyal, if stubborn butler Alfred Pennyworth for ‘The Batman: Part II’.

Release Date: Oct 1, 2027

Here’s what Serkis had to say about his return:

“I’m pretty certain it’s all going to work out. Yeah, we’re working on it, but I think it’s all looking good. I won’t be joining them immediately, but by the end of the year, I will be”.

What’s the story of ‘The Batman: Part II’?

Little is known officially about what Pattinson’s Caped Crusader will tackle, but we do know that Colin Farrell is likely to return as Oz Cobb, the villainous gangster nicknamed “The Penguin” while Jeffrey Wright (James Gordon) is also predicted to be back.

We can probably expect to see Batman tackle another menace from his rogues’ gallery, with Barry Keoghan teased as a potential Joker at the end of the original movie, but nothing confirmed about him actually playing the role.

Scarlett Johansson is aboard as an unknown character, while Sebastian Stan is reportedly playing Harvey Dent in the new movie.

When will ‘The Batman: Part II’ be in theaters?

Following a variety of release date shifts as Reeves and co-writer Mattson Tomlin honed the script, the movie is currently set to land on screens on October 1, 2027.
