The Batman 2 Set Videos May Reveal Our First Look At Scarlett Johansson's Character

Though it's difficult to tell for sure, these latest videos from the Glasgow set of Matt Reeves' The Batman sequel might just reveal our first glimpse of Scarlett Johansson's mysterious character...

As filming continues on the Glasgow, Scotland set of Matt Reeves' The Batman - Part II, there's speculation that these latest spy videos may reveal our first glimpse of Scarlett Johansson's mysterious character.

One of the clips shows a blonde woman riding shotgun in the Batmobile. It certainly could be Johansson, but the footage is too blurry to tell for sure, and the one time the person shooting the video zooms in to try to get a better shot, someone steps in front of the camera.

Assuming this is the Black Widow star (as far as we're aware, she is the only main female cast member), it seems unlikely that she's playing a version of Poison Ivy, who has always been depicted with red/aurburn hair.

Then again, Reeves could have decided to change things up a little, and we have heard that Johansson might be playing an amalgamation of several different characters.

There are only so many assumptions we can make based on hair color alone, so hopefully we'll get a clearer look at this mystery woman soon.

The other video shows a SWAT team closing in on the Batmobile, which would obviously suggest that the Dark Knight will once again find himself on the GCPD's bad side in the sequel. Unless the cops are actually hunting the girl in the passenger seat, and Batman is protecting her for whatever reason?

Earlier this year, Reeves officially announced the movie's main cast on social media.

The filmmaker confirmed that Robert Pattinson (Bruce Wayne/Batman), Jeffrey Wright (Jim Gordon), Andy Serkis (Alfred Pennyworth), Colin Farrell (Oz Cobb/The Penguin), Jayme Lawson (Bella Réal) and Gil Perez-Abraham (Officer Martinez) will reprise their roles, alongside new cast members Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Charles Dance, Sebastian Koch and Brian Tyree Henry.

Reeves did not reveal the characters Gotham City's new additions will play.

After several previous delays, The Batman - Part II was scheduled to arrive in theaters on October 1, 2027, but was recently pushed back to February 18, 2028.

It'd be funny if they made Pattinson's Batman a lothario like James Bond and he gets close with a new lady in each movie. There would be so much hysterical outrage.

@IAmAHoot - is he not? Batman hasn't had the same love interest in any one film.

@IAmAHoot - Classic Bruce is a billionaire playboy. He absolutely should be landing his bat in the cave. Man, I’d love a smaller scale sequel with Bruce trapped in Arkham and forced to take in a gauntlet of his greatest villains while solving some mystery (basically like the game), with Joker pulling the strings.

@TheAmericanHero - We're still in the era of everyone being offended by anything men do; especially womanize in any way.

@IAmAHoot - This version of Bruce is very depressed and barely interested in socialising let alone being a womanizer. Selina he only got involved with because of the Riddler case and the most intimate moment with her was a kiss.

@TheAmericanHero - Rachel in both Batman Begin and The Dark Knight. But that's the exception to the rule and he was cucked by DAs.

@ObserverIO - yeah true. I often forget Maggie is the same character that Katie played in Begins.

Have a feeling she might be playing Harvey’s sister, not his wife.

@soberchimera - This would be great because Earth One Batman had eyes for her only. I really liked that because outside of her, I only saw Julie Madison is a good LI for Bruce. Never was a fan of Selina or Talia.

@MisterBones - possibly, but wasn't Vale a ginger in the comics?

@MarkCassidy - You're right but it seems in some media outside of comics she is blonde. Arkham games she was blonde.

@MisterBones - Damn why does her model look like a PS2 game lol?

And I love Arkham City but it looks uh...interesting after all these years.

@Irregular - the gameplay still holds up but the graphics not so much in some regards. And i know this is a rough screenshot too.

Arkham Knight still holds up across the board though, in my opinion.

Irregular - 8/21/2026, 11:19 AM
@MisterBones - Yeah I think Arkham Knight is the best as far as a Batman experience and gameplay. Story was okay though.

"it seems unlikely that she's playing a version of Poison Ivy, who has always been depicted with red/aurburn hair."

It's 2026 and people are still fixated in hair colors and SKIN colors. How many times movies changed comics standards? Even Batman was blond-ish (Val Kilmer).

@ogrodafloresta - doesn’t matter what year it is. People want character portrayals to be true to the creators vision.

@Astroman - Does it make a ton of difference if a character who's ginger in the comics becomes blonde and vice-versa? Specially if this feature is not a defining one?

Phantasm

She is gunning for Penguin.

Would be surprising if portraying Poison Ivy to not have her signature red hair. Could be a wig over the red though as well. In other words, there is nothing to learn by these photos lol

I'm already used to seeing these articles about people guessing who is playing who in the movie.

I'll say the same thing as I have said before, we won't know shit until the movie comes out.

If Reeves wants to keep secrets, he will. We will only know what he wants us to know.

Makes watching the movie much better this way.

Would be cool if she was Vicki Vale, movie could use a new love interest.

TheVisionary25 - 8/21/2026, 2:48 PM
She’s obviously Vicki Vale…

Come to think of it , The Telltale influence on this series aswell as Martha being an Arkham in these movies akin to other versions , I wonder if we could be getting a take on Lady Arkham?.

Perhaps Vicki Vale has information implicating Governor Christopher Dent's son, Harvey Dent, in a murder. Harvey committed the murder while mentally unstable, yet he's the new district attorney, and his father financed his campaign. So Harvey is similar to Raymond Shaw in The Manchurian Candidate.

If Vicki Vale speaks out, she'll tarnish the Dent name, and that's something Christopher can't allow.

The Batman Part II could be inspired by Enemy of the State and The Manchurian Candidate.
