Sebastian Stan has officially confirmed he will play Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part II. In an interview with the French outlet Le Journal du Dimanche, the actor briefly spoke about his DC Universe debut when asked whether he had anything to share about Avengers: Doomsday.
“Honestly, I have absolutely no idea. Because we didn’t have a script. We were just shooting scattered scenes [for Doomsday],” Stan explained. “The producers didn’t want us to read it in its entirety, to avoid journalists asking us questions. I’ve been following this rule for fifteen years, I’m used to it. I also can’t say anything about The Batman: Part II, by Matt Reeves, where I play Harvey Dent.”
Harvey Dent is Gotham’s district attorney, who becomes the villain Two-Face after an accident disfigures him. Besides Stan, new additions to the DCU include Scarlett Johansson, Charles Dance, and Brian Tyree Henry in unconfirmed roles.
