Colin Farrell has shared some exciting updates about *The Batman 2*, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2022 superhero film *The Batman*. Directed by Matt Reeves and released by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures, the original movie stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The film’s notable cast also includes Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton/The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Colin Farrell as Oz/The Penguin.
Farrell reprised his role as Oz/The Penguin in *The Penguin*, an HBO series that forms part of Reeves’ *The Batman* Epic Crime Saga. The show premiered in 2024 and has sparked much speculation about whether a second season will follow.
### What Did Colin Farrell Say About *The Batman 2*?
What is definitely known is that the sequel, titled *The Batman Part II*, is currently in development and scheduled for release on October 1, 2027. Speaking with ComicBook, Farrell revealed that *The Batman Part II* will take place just “a few weeks after” the events of *The Penguin* series. This connection further ties the HBO show and the film universe together, expanding the story and character arcs introduced so far.
In a separate interview with Collider, Farrell opened up about returning to his role as Oz in *The Batman 2* and the contrast between working on the HBO series versus Matt Reeves’ films. He said:
> “It’s less about ‘what can I do.’ I was spoiled rotten with eight hours on HBO. It’s less of ‘what can I do with this,’ and more just to be in that world and be around Robert and be around Jeffrey again, and be led by Matt Reeves. It’s something I’m really excited about again, just to be around it.”
### Plot and Release Information
Plot details for *The Batman 2* remain tightly under wraps at this time. The movie is co-written by Matt Reeves and Mattson Tomlin, who worked on the first film’s screenplay. Fans will have to wait until more information is officially revealed as the film’s release date approaches.
### Where to Watch
Both *The Batman* and *The Penguin* are currently available to stream on HBO Max, providing viewers a perfect opportunity to catch up on the story before the sequel arrives in 2027.
