Charles Dance in negotiations for 'The Batman Part II'

Los Angeles, Apr 19 (PTI) Veteran actor Charles Dance is in talks to join the cast of DC Studios’ “The Batman Part II”, featuring Robert Pattinson reprising his Bruce Wayne role.

The actor, known for playing Tywin Lannister in “Game of Thrones”, will reportedly essay Charles Dent, father of Gotham district attorney Harvey Dent (Sebastian Stan), according to the entertainment news outlet Deadline.

The film is set to release on October 1, 2027 and is directed by Matt Reeves, who has also penned the script alongside Mattson Tomlin.

Reeves’ version of Gotham and its guardian has been widely praised for its approach to the DC franchise. “The Batman” has also led to the making of HBO Max series “The Penguin”, which won nine Emmys, including one for Cristin

Milioti.

The story of the upcoming instalment picks up shortly after the events of the first film and the “The Penguin” spin-off, with Gotham still reeling from the Riddler’s flood.

The filming is set to take place in London.

“The Batman Part II” was officially announced by Warner Bros in April 2022 during CinemaCon. It will also feature Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, and Barry Keoghan in pivotal roles. PTI ATR ATR ATR
