Sebastian Stan teases Harvey Dent character for The Batman: Part II

In an interview with Deadline, Stan spoke about playing "many roles" in The Batman: Part II and basically confirmed his role. The actor has been rumoured for a while to play Harvey Dent, the District Attorney for Gotham who goes mad after mobster Sal “Boss” Maroni scars half his face by throwing acid on it. He gains the moniker Two-Face.

The Oscar nominee also shared that he had been working with the hair and makeup teams about Two-Face's disfigurement. Stan added, "I’m excited, I’m nervous and trying to keep surprising myself."Game of Thrones actor Dance is supposed to be playing Charles Dent, Harvey’s father, while Johansson is reportedly playing Harvey's wife Gilda. The duo is rumored to be the main antagonists of the Batman sequel led by Pattinson. The Batman: Part II will release in theatres on October 1, 2027.

Sebastian Stan's upcoming projects

The actor is set to return as the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, in Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026. He will reunite with Chris Evans, who is returning as Captain America for the long-awaited sequel. But seeing how Stan has been signing on for more high-profile roles in other feature films, fans feel his character may meet his end in the next Avengers sequel. The actor's participation in the next Marvel sequel Avengers: Secret Wars for 2027 seems unclear.

His latest film Fjord, written and directed by Cristian Mungiu, won the top prize at Cannes. He and Renate Reinsve play a Romanian-Norwegian couple in the drama that has become an Oscar frontrunner after its win. Besides The Batman: Part II, Stan will co-star in Impunity with Ana de Armas. The spy thriller in English and Spanish from award-winning Chilean filmmaker Felipe Gálvez will be filmed in Chile, the UK and Spain.
