The movie of Batman by Matt Reeves took the box office by storm when it opened more than a year ago. Despite the many doubts that Robert Pattinson’s casting caused, the actor won the hearts of fans and, with a short time on the big screen, Warner Bros. confirmed that he would make a sequel and that they are also preparing spin-off series of another secondary character in the tape.
However, according to the site Midgard Timesfilming on Batman 2 will no longer begin next November as Reeves is an active part of the writers’ strike and is out in the field demanding his rights alongside Mattson Tomlin, with whom he is working on this project.
Now it is said that the tentative date of filming will be pushed until March 2024, and although they could still meet the release date for 2025, these types of movies take a long time and eventually we could have a new delay.
A few days ago it was also confirmed that the series of The Penguin, which was already in full filming, had to stop its production for the same matter and it is not known when they will return to work. The future of both projects, like many others in Hollywood, will depend entirely on the writers’ strike.
Let’s remember that the writers’ union began its first strike in years this past May 2. For now things are not looking very good because the production companies do not want to give in to the union’s negotiations, which is looking for better pay and guarantees before the AI, among other demands. However, the situation could change very soon with the talks with the actors’ union and with the directors’ union, because if they also go on strike, the industry will lose even more millions per day that they do not work and that is not something that is can ignore.
