Scarlett Johansson’s ‘The Batman 2’ Role: Still a Mystery, But She Says It Gave Her Existential Angst

Scarlett Johansson says her role in The Batman: Part II was hard to figure out, and it gave her a lot of existential angst.

The character’s details have yet to be revealed, leaving the actress—and the audience—still searching for clues.

The film is directed by Matt Reeves, who also helmed the original 2022 Batman, and stars Robert Pattinson as the Dark Knight.

Johansson’s admission that the role was “very hard to figure out” and that it “gave her a lot of existential angst” has become a running joke among fans, who now wonder if the mystery of her character is a deliberate marketing ploy or simply a testament to the complexity of superhero storytelling.
