The Batman 2 Fans Predict Who Scarlett Johansson Is Playing
A new round of casting speculation for The Batman Part 2 has taken over fan discussions following reports that Scarlett Johansson is in final negotiations to join the sequel.

With no official confirmation yet, the mystery surrounding her role has sparked widespread theories across social media platforms.
The Batman 2 fans think Scarlett Johansson could play these foes
Scarlett Johansson is in negotiations to join The Batman Part 2, according to a report from Nexus Point News. The role remains unconfirmed, but speculation about her character has gained traction among fans on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit. Johansson is expected to film the project following her work on Mike Flanagan’s Exorcist reboot.
Andrea Beaumont, also known as Phantasm, has emerged as a leading theory. Originally appearing in the 1993 animated film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Beaumont is Bruce Wayne’s former fiancée who becomes the vigilante Phantasm to avenge her father’s death at the hands of Gotham’s mob. “She is playing Phantasm OMG,” wrote one user in a post reacting to the news.
Online discussion has presented several other options. One user posted, “Poison Ivy??” while another listed Andrea Beaumont, Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy), Vicki Vale, and Julie Madison as potential characters Johansson might portray. Other users suggested Lady Arkham and Samantha Vanaver of the Court of Owls as alternatives. One Reddit user noted, “It’s already spread that it’s a love interest that turns villain. It’s Phantasm.”
The Phantasm theory continues to gain momentum as fans point out that live-action already featured Talia al Ghul, while Andrea Beaumont has yet to appear. The mob-centered revenge arc from Mask of the Phantasm aligns with the criminal underworld themes returning in The Batman Part 2, including the confirmed appearance of Colin Farrell’s Penguin.
Warner Bros. has not officially confirmed Johansson’s casting or her character. The studio plans to release the film on October 1, 2027, as a sequel to Matt Reeves’ 2022 film The Batman, maintaining the franchise’s grounded noir style.
