No, Sebastian Stan Hasn’t Confirmed His Batman 2 Role as Harvey Dent

Sebastian Stan has not signed on to play Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part II. A misquote from a French publication sparked the rumor before two insiders recently claimed the actor never made such a statement.

Sebastian Stan was misquoted, hasn’t confirmed The Batman 2 role

Le Journal du Dimanche initially reported that Stan said, “I play Harvey Dent,” while discussing Matt Reeves’ upcoming sequel. That alleged quote quickly spread across social media on Tuesday, generating headlines and fan excitement. The outlet has since corrected its online article to remove the false attribution.

The corrected interview has Sebastian Stan deflecting questions about The Batman 2 rather than confirming a role. When asked about the secrecy surrounding major franchise films, Stan pointed to his experience with Marvel Studios.

He described the unusual production process for Avengers: Doomsday, saying, “Honestly, I have absolutely no idea. Because we didn’t have a script. We were just shooting scattered scenes.” The actor explained that producers withheld the full screenplay to prevent leaks. He added, “The producers didn’t want us to read it in its entirety, to avoid journalists asking us questions.”

On the subject of The Batman 2, Stan gave no casting details. The updated quote reads: “I also can’t say anything about Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II. The beauty of this profession also lies in participating in projects of this scale, which I love as a viewer.” The corrected statement makes clear that Stan was speaking generally about large-scale productions, not confirming his involvement in the DC sequel. The original misquote inserted the phrase “where I play Harvey Dent” into his answer, fundamentally altering its meaning (via The Wrap).

Nonetheless, Stan remains part of the Marvel universe. He has played Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier, since 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. His most recent appearance came in last year’s Thunderbolts*. He will next be seen in Avengers: Doomsday, which hits theaters on December 18.
