Sebastian Stan reportedly eyed for Harvey Dent in The Batman - Part II

Movieweb reports, published 14 minutes ago, that Sebastian Stan is seemingly joining the cast of The Batman - Part II and is being eyed for a key role, with many rumors pointing to Harvey Dent/Two-Face; no details have been confirmed and Stan's stylist might have accidentally revealed the casting.

The piece highlights parallels between Stan's MCU role as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier and the Two-Face character: both are former allies of the title hero who become antagonists and have fractured psyches — Bucky portrayed as a brainwashed assassin under HYDRA, and Harvey Dent depicted with dissociative identity disorder. It also notes differences: Bucky's story in the MCU and comics moves toward redemption, while Two-Face is typically an enduring, tragic foe, though Matt Reeves could give his version a different arc.

The article adds that The Batman - Part II is looking to continue the grounded crime drama of Reeves's first film, and that rumored involvement of the Court of Owls creates a narrative echo of HYDRA in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Many are hoping the sequel can match or surpass that MCU entry, but casting, plot and how Stan might fit into the role remain unconfirmed.
