‘The Batman: Part II’: Charles Dance in Talks to Join as Harvey Dent’s Father in DC Sequel

The Batman: Part II is looking to add another star to its stacked cast.

Charles Dance is in talks to play Harvey Dent’s father in the upcoming sequel to 2022’s Batman, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

DC Studios had no comment.

Robert Pattinson is back to lead the film as the Dark Knight with Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent, and Scarlett Johansson as Dent’s wife.

Matt Reeves returns to direct the movie, which is aiming to begin production next month, and co-wrote the script with Mattson Tomlin.

Dance played Tywin Lannister in four seasons of HBO’s Game of Thrones. He also has credits in Alien 3, The Imitation Game, Gosford Park, The First Omen, The Day of the Jackal and played Dr. Frankenstein’s father in last year’s Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-nominated, Frankenstein.

The Batman grossed $772 million at the worldwide box office and starred Colin Farrell as the villain, the Penguin, who got his own spinoff series on Max and is returning for the sequel. The cast rounded out with Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Jeffery Wright as Jim Gordon, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Andy Serkis as Alfred and Barry Keoghan as an Arkham Asylum inmate.

A sequel was first announced by Warner Bros. at CinemaCon in April 2022. But in early 2023, DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran said it would open in October 2025. A year later, the movie was delayed to Oct. 2, 2026. The film is now expected to be released on Oct. 1, 2027.

Dance is repped by Tavistock Wood Management.

Deadline first reported the news.
