Sebastian Stan is joining the cast of The Batman 2, but he will not be taking on the role of Harvey Dent, Superherohype reports.

AceShowbiz - Sebastian Stan is joining the cast of The Batman 2, but he will not be taking on the role of Harvey Dent, Superherohype reports. Instead, the actor is set to portray the chilling villain Victor Zsasz in the upcoming film, which is directed by Matt Reeves and sees Robert Pattinson returning as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Superherohype revealed that Stan’s casting was confirmed in January 2026, and other outlets have since clarified the details of his character. Polygon also noted that Brian Tyree Henry is expected to play Harvey Dent in the sequel, though it remains unclear if his character will transform into Two-Face. Aol adds that Victor Zsasz is a psychopathic serial killer known for marking his skin with tally marks for each victim, a trait that Stan’s shaved head appearance seems to support. Tvweb confirms Stan’s involvement as Zsasz, emphasizing the character’s sadistic nature and history in the Batman mythos, alongside previous portrayals by Tim Booth, Anthony Carrigan, and Chris Messina.

Sebastian Stan first gained recognition as Jack Benjamin in the NBC series Kings and has amassed over 50 acting credits, including roles in Law & Order and Tony 'n' Tina's Wedding. Recently, he earned critical acclaim with multiple nominations for his performance in A Different Man and the miniseries Pam & Tommy. His casting as Victor Zsasz marks a notable entry into the DC cinematic universe.

This casting update holds significance as it shifts expectations around Stan’s involvement in The Batman 2. While fans initially speculated he might portray the iconic Harvey Dent, the confirmation that he embodies Victor Zsasz introduces a fresh and darker threat to the film’s narrative. With Matt Reeves directing and Robert Pattinson reprising the lead, the inclusion of Zsasz points to a more personal and unsettling villain for Batman, expanding the film’s exploration of Gotham’s criminal underworld ahead of its scheduled October 1, 2027 release.
