Scarlett Johansson Says The Batman: Part 2 Role Caused 'Existential Angst'
While she didn’t disclose the character she’s playing, Scarlett Johansson says her role in The Batman: Part II has given her “a lot of existential angst” because it was “hard to crack."
Scarlett Johansson has revealed that her role in The Batman: Part II has caused her "a lot of existential angst" due to it being "hard to crack." The Black Widow actress discussed her upcoming film Paper Tiger with Entertainment Tonight, when asked which of her roles in future franchise films pushed her outside of her comfort zone, she noted, "Probably the role in The Batman, because it gave me a lot of existential angst, for some reason."
She couldn't specify the character she's playing, but rumors suggest she could be portraying Gilda Dent or Poison Ivy.
Johansson isn't the only cast member to comment on The Batman: Part II. Robert Pattinson has praised the sequel for its psychological insight into Bruce Wayne and Batman, something he believes hasn't been explored before. Currently, The Batman: Part II is filming in the UK under the guidance of director Steven Soderbergh, who is handling the final stages of production while Matt Reeves takes a break due to personal matters.
Reeves will return to directing once the film concludes post-production. Despite production delays, the movie is still set to premiere in theaters on February 18, 2028.
