Batman 2 star Robert Pattinson says Steven Soderbergh’s step in to finish filming the DC sequel was “incredibly generous”, as production resumes on the beleaguered superhero sequel.
Filming on The Batman Part II was temporarily halted earlier this month when writer-director Matt Reeves left the set to attend to an ongoing family matter. Shortly after, it was announced that director Steven Soderbergh would step in to complete principal photography, working with Reeves to realize his vision for the film.
When GamesRadar+ caught up with Pattinson to discuss his latest release, Primetime, this weekend, the Bruce Wayne star discussed resuming production on The Batman Part II with Soderbergh behind the camera, and revealed when he was expected to return to set to finish principal photography.

“I’m so happy he came to help Matt,” Pattinson says sincerely when asked what he thinks of the award-winning Traffic, Erin Brockovich and Ocean’s director replacing Reeves. “It’s incredibly generous of him – and he does it in the sweetest way. It’s completely selfless.
“I think Matt put a lot of work into the script and we’re almost done,” Pattinson continues. “So for someone to come in and say, ‘I just want to help Matt do this; I want to do it collaboratively with him and just put him in the edit.’ And to have someone as talented as Steven do it is awesome.”
When does filming resume? “I think they’re already in production,” Pattinson says. “And I start in a few days.”
In a statement, DC Studios said it was Soderbergh who approached Reeves, offering to complete production on the film with the full support of DC Studios. It appears that Reeves will still handle post-production duties on the film in collaboration with Soderbergh, clarifying on social media that he is “not leaving” The Batman Part II.
As for Pattinson, the Primetime, The Odyssey and The Drama star is having a banner year after appearing in three well-received films already in 2026, and he still has a highly anticipated sci-fi sequel, Dune 3, coming up – something he describes as a “miracle”: “To get these films in the first place is awesome,” the star told GamesRadar+. “And for them all to work, I’m like, ‘How’s it going?’”
Batman Part II hits theaters on February 18, 2028. Primetime is currently streaming in US theaters and comes to digital starting November 3. In the UK, Primetime hits theaters on October 30, with some previews starting on October 28. For more, here’s our guide to the most exciting upcoming films coming in 2026.
