Who Will Play Harvey Dent in Batman 2?
Matt Reeves The Batman‘s success gave DC fans a reason to rejoice after the sequel was announced. We will see Robert Pattinson put on his cape and mask to protect Gotham from vengeful villains in Batman 2. According to Insider John Rocha’s The Hot Mic podcast, the iconic Two-Face is set to make a comeback to Gotham City. The Gotham’s District Attorney will return in the sequel and there are two actors who could be seen reprising Harvey Dent’s character. While talking to film critic Josh Sneider, Rocha revealed that his source gave him two names that are set to play Two-Face- Joel Edgerton and Josh Hartnett.
According to Rocha, the news comes from a trusted source as he’s “vetted this person.” He said-
“This person is telling me that they had heard that Harvey Dent will be introduced as Gotham’s new District Attorney in The Batman Part Two and may become Two-Face by the end of the film. And the two names that this person has heard is Josh Hartnett and Joel Edgerton. Those are the two names that they are possibly kicking around.”
Two-Face in Batman 2
The Batman movies have seen some great actors playing Harvey Dent and Two-Face who’ve left an imprint on the audience. Two-Face is one of the most iconic supervillains in the Batman series. In 1995, it was played by Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever and by Aaron Eckhart in 2008’s The Dark Knight. No matter who ends up grabbing the opportunity of playing the role of Two-Face, they surely have big shoes to fill.
The shooting for Batman 2 is rumoured to begin by 2024. Owing to the protest by the Writer’s Guild Association (WGA) there could be some delays in the scriptwriting, however, director Matt Reeves did tease the introduction of another villain in the sequel. Speaking about the sequel, Reeves revealed that the iconic Clayface will be seen in the movie adding his plan is to have his characters in “some kind of emotional jeopardy.”
As stated by Josh Rocha, Two-Face will be unveiled by the end of the movie which means that it will keep the audience hooked throughout. Whether the rumours may be true or not, it sure has sprung up some excitement among all DC fans.
