Seen in one of the very last scenes of “The Batman”, will Barry Keoghan reprise his role as the Joker in the sequel, expected in our theaters on October 1, 2025? The main person gives clues.
With $772 million in revenue and three Oscar nominations, Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson’s Batman didn’t miss his big screen debut. And it is quite natural that a sequel was announced.
Scheduled for October 1, 2025 in French theaters (and two days later in the United States), it should begin filming next year and information could soon be revealed.
Which doesn’t stop the media from wanting to know more and as quickly as possible. And it’s Barry Keoghan who is paying the price today: currently in the casting of Saltburn (December 22 on Prime Video in France), the actor made a short but memorable appearance in the last minutes of The Batman, under makeup of the Joker. And in a deleted scene.
In the Gotham City imagined by Matt Reeves, the nemesis of the Bat Man is already locked up in Arkham Asylum, which leaves the possibility of seeing her return: “I can’t say anything about that.”the Golden Globe nominated actor responded to Etalk. “But it would be exciting, right? Seeing the Joker come to life again? My smile says it all.”
A smile which will therefore serve as confirmation. Which is not very surprising, because everything suggested that Matt Reeves was sowing some seeds for a possible sequel. By keeping a few tricks up his sleeve: “Does the scene introduce us to the main antagonist of the next film? No, that was not the intention. I don’t know who the villain will be”the director replied to us when The Batman was released in early 2022.
“The idea was more to give context to this world, and show that even though the stranglehold of corruption has been broken to a certain degree, trouble is not going to stop brewing.” While the Penguin (Colin Farrell) is still on the loose (and the series devoted to him will open a door to the plot of The Batman II), the Bat Man has not yet finished suffering. At the movie theater.
