Sebastian Stan has been confirmed to portray Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part II, marking the character’s introduction into Matt Reeves’ expanding Gotham universe. The sequel continues to build on the grounded tone established in the 2022 film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stan’s version of Harvey Dent will be introduced as an idealistic district attorney whose life is altered by a devastating attack. The incident leaves him physically scarred and psychologically fractured, ultimately setting him on the path to becoming Two-Face.
Harvey Dent has appeared in multiple Batman adaptations over the years, though the character is often remembered primarily for his villainous transformation. Previous portrayals have rarely explored Dent’s internal conflict with equal emphasis before and after his fall.
Stan’s casting has drawn attention due to his recent performances in A Different Man and The Apprentice, which highlighted his ability to portray complex, psychologically layered characters. Those roles have positioned him as a strong fit for the moral duality central to Two-Face.
Details surrounding The Batman: Part II remain largely under wraps, with the extent of Dent’s transformation yet to be confirmed. The film is currently slated for release in 2027.
