Jeffrey Wright reveals that he has not had any in-depth conversations with director Matt Reeves about The Batman Part 2

Jeffrey Wright, who plays Commissioner Gordon in the Batman series, recently revealed that he has not had any substantive discussions with director Matt Reeves about the Batman sequel. Wright co-starred with Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Colin Farrell and Paul Dano in his first appearance in the series, and the film focused on presenting Batman’s early experiences more realistically.

In an interview with Inverse, Wright said that he was “very much looking forward to returning to the role”, and also admitted that he had “not seen any scripts” or “had any in-depth communication with Reeves”. He added that he, like the audience, “knows nothing about the future development”. Despite this, Wright still expressed a strong interest in returning to the role and believed that he was “looking forward to being involved again”.

When talking about the creative direction of director Matt Reeves, Wright seemed very optimistic. He said that Reeves’ construction of Gotham City is “excellent and full of depth”, and described the city as “a little dirty, but presented in a very attractive way”. Wright also added that Gotham City is full of possibilities to be explored, and future story developments are equally exciting.

Although there is a lack of updates and news on the sequel to “Batman”, Wright’s response shows that everyone’s attention does not need to be too worried. As one of the core characters in the series, Wright is obviously positive about returning. Perhaps more importantly, the delay of the project may be closely related to the production cycle and release time window of the film, rather than other reasons.

“The Batman Part 2” is scheduled to be released in 2026. According to the usual production schedule, filming is likely to start in 2025. Although Wright did not disclose the specific script writing progress of director Reeves, he believes that Reeves may have been preparing for story conception and script development, but is not yet ready to enter the shooting stage.
