Reports Suggest Zoë Kravitz May Not Return As Catwoman In The Batman Sequel

Multiple reports and rumors suggest that Zoë Kravitz may not reprise her role as Catwoman in The Batman Part II, with her publicists reportedly instructing the press not to ask her about the sequel, claiming she is not involved and does not know details. This has sparked speculation that her character might be absent from the upcoming film, despite Catwoman's important role in the franchise and her story being teased for continuation in previous installments like The Penguin. However, some insiders caution that publicists often mislead the media to control narratives, so her exclusion is not confirmed. The sequel, directed by Matt Reeves, is set to release in October 2027, but it remains unclear how Catwoman’s storyline will be handled, especially given possible DC Studios plans for the character in their broader universe. The absence of Catwoman might be explained by the narrative direction of the sequel or by the integration of her character into other DC projects like The Brave and the Bold. Meanwhile, the DC Universe is also exploring new storytelling approaches, as seen in an upcoming film focused on a civilian caught up with Joker and Harley Quinn, marking a break from traditional hero or villain-centered narratives.
