Hollywood A-lister Scarlett Johansson is reportedly in final negotiations to join the highly anticipated sequel to Matt Reeves' 2021 hit, The Batman. According to sources, Johansson will first film The Exorcist before moving on to the DC Studios film, which is set to start shooting next spring for a 2027 theatrical release. The actress will join Robert Pattinson, who is set to reprise his role as the Caped Crusader in the sequel being written and directed by Reeves. However, details about Johansson's potential role remain unclear. Johansson has been busy setting up several franchises, including the Jurassic World reboot and her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great. She is also set to star in the James Gray pic Paper Tiger opposite Miles Teller and Adam Driver. The Batman sequel has been shrouded in secrecy, with Reeves describing the script as being kept in a 'secret pouch' with a lock and code. The film's high-security measures have been a topic of discussion, with Reeves revealing that even Robert Pattinson was kept in the dark about the script while filming in New York. If the deal comes together, Johansson will be part of a star-studded cast, including Pattinson and potentially other A-listers. Fans can expect more updates on the film's cast and plot as the release date approaches.
