Stan's Stylist May Have Leaked Two-Face Casting Secret
A social media slip-up by Sebastian Stan's stylist might have accidentally revealed the actor's character in Matt Reeves' upcoming Batman sequel, despite Warner Bros.' efforts to keep casting details under wraps.
Sebastian Stan's potential jump from Marvel to DC just got more interesting. His stylist may have accidentally spilled the beans about which character the actor will portray in Matt Reeves' Batman sequel.
Reports surfaced January 6 that Stan entered discussions for The Batman - Part II. Sources suggested he'd take on Harvey Dent, the district attorney who becomes the villain Two-Face. Warner Bros. and Reeves kept quiet about specifics.
Social Media Slip Reveals Character Details
Michael Fisher, Stan's stylist, posted fan art showing the actor as Two-Face on his Instagram story. The image spread quickly online before Fisher deleted it. Another Two-Face image featuring Stan appeared on Fisher's account, then vanished just as fast.
Neither Warner Bros., Reeves, nor Stan's team responded to requests for comment about the leaked images.
Gotham Needs New Leadership
The casting makes sense story-wise. The Riddler killed Gotham's previous district attorney, Gil Coulson, in the first film. The city needs someone new in that role.
Stan would become the fourth actor to play Harvey Dent in live-action movies. Billy Dee Williams originated the character in Tim Burton's Batman. Tommy Lee Jones took over as Two-Face in Batman Forever. Aaron Eckhart delivered a memorable performance in The Dark Knight. Most recently, Harry Lawtey played a pre-scarred version in Joker: Folie à Deux.
Potential Story Connections
Stan's casting might support rumors about Scarlett Johansson joining as Gilda Dent, Harvey's wife. The character plays a major part in Batman: The Long Halloween, a comic that influenced Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and Reeves' first Batman film.
Fisher's posts don't guarantee Stan will play Two-Face. The stylist might simply be having fun with widespread speculation that started when his client joined the cast.
Production begins spring 2026. The Batman - Part II hits theaters October 2027.
