Production on The Batman Part II is officially underway, and newly surfaced set photos are sparking intense speculation surrounding Scarlett Johansson’s undisclosed role. Directed by Matt Reeves, the sequel to the 2022 hit sees Robert Pattinson return as Bruce Wayne/Batman alongside an expanded star-studded cast.
Leaked set photos circulating across social media feature a blonde woman carrying a small child on set. According to fan theories, the woman appears to be a stunt double for Johansson’s character, hinting that her role in the film may involve a mother-child dynamic.
It is important to note that DC Studios has not officially confirmed details regarding Johansson’s character. It remains unverified whether the woman photographed on set is indeed doubling for the actress, so fans should treat these early images as an unconfirmed rumor.

Despite the lack of official confirmation, fan theories have quickly spread across social media following the photo leak.
One fan on X claimed that Scarlett Johansson’s character might be in a relationship with Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne. And the kid in the pictures might be his son, considering the hairstyle. Other observers note that the woman on set appears to be wearing an engagement ring, further fueling theories of a personal connection to Bruce.
If these early reports and rumors do turn out to be true, it will make for an interesting situation for Scarlett Johansson’s role. Initially, she was rumored to be playing Harvey Dent’s wife Gilda Dent, while other persistent fan theories suggested she might play Poison Ivy.
These new set photos add yet another layer of mystery to the character’s true identity in Gotham’s evolving underground.
In addition to Pattinson, Johansson, and Stan, The Batman: Part II brings back Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb/The Penguin.
The Batman: Part II is scheduled to hit theaters on February 18, 2028.
