Steven Soderbergh will help complete the final weeks of principal photography on *The Batman Part II* while director Matt Reeves attends to an ongoing family matter, according to a statement from the studio.
Production had been temporarily paused after Reeves stepped away. Soderbergh approached Reeves and will work closely with him, the cast and crew to ensure the remaining footage follows Reeves’ vision and integrates with material already filmed. Reeves is expected to resume his duties for post-production.
Reeves said on social media that he has not left the project and thanked Soderbergh for helping him finish principal photography during a challenging period. Soderbergh praised Reeves’ work on the first film and said his goal was to generate footage that could be incorporated seamlessly into the sequel.
Filming had reportedly been underway in London before the pause. The makers were eyeing a February 18, 2028, release for the Robert Pattinson-led sequel, though it is unclear whether the production interruption will affect that date.
