Boyd Holbrook Reportedly in Talks to Play Two-Face in Matt Reeves’ THE BATMAN: PART II — GeekTyrant

A new rumor is making the rounds online claiming that Boyd Holbrook (Logan, The Sandman) is in talks to play Harvey Dent/Two-Face in Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II. This rumor originated from a report by industry insider CanWeGetSomeToast.

While this is just a rumor, it’s not hard to image Holbrook in the role of Harvey Dent. Holbrook also has some experience playing bad guys, having played Donald Pierce in Logan, The Corinthian in Netflix’s The Sandman, and most recently he played Kaber in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

We don’t know anything about the sequel’s story, but it has been reported that movie will be at least partially based on Geoff Johns’ Batman: Earth One. The first film of which took a certain amount of inspiration from Vol. 1, so I guess that means the sequel would be more influenced by Volumes 2 and 3.

Batman: Earth One is set in an alternate universe where Bruce Wayne is struggling to find his purpose as Gotham City’s protector. With the help of Alfred Pennyworth, a former SAS operative, Bruce embarks on his journey to confront both familiar and new villains along the way. The story explores the psychology of Batman as he seeks justice in Gotham. Hush is also said to be one of the big villains in the movie.

The movie stars Robert Pattinson as Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Andy Serkis as Alfred, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, and Colin Farrell as Penguin.

What do you think about the possibility of Holbrook playing Two-Face in Reeves’ Batman universe?
