Scarlett Johansson Cast in The Batman 2 — Wild Fan Theories & Likely Roles

Big DC movie news for the week: Scarlett Johansson is officially joining the cast of The Batman Part II in an unspecified role—and our panel breaks down all the possible characters she might be playing.

We explore every realistic (and not-so-realistic) option based on the tone of Matt Reeves’ universe:

🔥 Poison Ivy? The most obvious fan pick
🔥 Andrea Beaumont / The Phantasm? Reeves hinted the villain would be someone “rarely seen in live-action,” and this would be a MASSIVE first for Batman movies
🔥 Gorilla Grodd? Reeves directed Planet of the Apes — could ScarJo be doing motion capture?
🔥 Detective Chimp? Yes, we go there, and yes… we kind of love it
🔥 Barbara Gordon? Could she fit as Jeffrey Wright’s daughter?
🔥 Kate Kane? A grounded, non-Batwoman version?

We also discuss:

– Scarlett Johansson’s performance in the new Jurassic Park film
– What kind of tone Matt Reeves is creating for his Elseworld Batman universe
– How Mask of the Phantasm and Batman: The Animated Series influence this theory
– Why Phantasm’s twist in animation was essentially “misogyny as misdirection”
– Why some characters break this universe… and why some would be perfect

If ScarJo ends up being the live-action Phantasm, this could be one of the boldest Batman casting choices in years.
