Scarlett Johansson Spotted in Batmobile on The Batman Set

A grainy set photo can say more than a press release. This time it shows what looks like a blonde woman sitting in the passenger seat of the Batmobile as cameras roll in Glasgow. The image, shared online by a user called hoeBread36, quickly set the fandom alight — and not because the car finally got a new paint job.

Filming for The Batman – Part 2 is underway, and while James Gunn’s expanding DCU marches forward in its own direction, Matt Reeves’ Batman world is quietly following its own law. Robert Pattinson is back as the Dark Knight, the winter chill is part of the story’s backdrop, and the streets of Glasgow have been dressed as a very familiar Gotham.

In one behind-the-scenes frame, a stunt double thought to be for Scarlett Johansson sits inside the Batmobile. Police lights flash in the distance. A chase sequence seems likely. Theories proliferate. Why would GCPD be tailing Bruce Wayne’s ride? Tension, misdirection, or a trap? All good storytelling tools.

Nobody from the production has confirmed Johansson’s character. Rumors point to Gilda Dent — Harvey Dent’s comic-book wife — but Matt Reeves has stayed tight-lipped. Could Johansson play a known Gotham figure? Or is the production keeping a new identity under wraps until the trailer drops? It’s a chess game. Filmmakers love surprises as much as fans love spoilers.

Scarlett isn’t the only familiar face migrating from one cinematic universe to another. Sebastian Stan, long known for playing Bucky Barnes in the MCU, has a secret role in Reeves’ film. Brian Tyree Henry, fresh from Marvel’s Eternals, is also on board, his character’s details kept out of the press. The crossover of talent is real, even if the characters remain mysteries.

One confirmed detail: the story takes place in winter and threads through events that follow soon after the conclusion of The Penguin season one. Colin Farrell will return as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot, a welcome, slippery ghost from the previous film. Small plot anchors like that give fans something solid to hold onto amid the speculation.

Expectation is part of the fun. Producers may reveal Johansson’s role ahead of release, or they might keep it a cinematic reveal — a surprise for the first trailer or even the opening weekend. Either way, set photos like the Batmobile shot are the closest thing viewers get to peeking through the curtain.

The Batman – Part 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on February 18, 2028.

Filming will continue over the coming months, so more images and clips are likely to leak out. Watch for them. They’ll carry hints, false leads, and the occasional slam-dunk reveal that changes everything.
