'It's a real left turn from the first one'
Pattinson said, "It's so ambitious. I mean, I sort of said the other day on something that the first one was a different take on a Batman movie, and this one is another."
"It's a real left turn from the first one, but somehow it keeps elements of the kind of feel of it."
"But it just feels really ambitious, and I'm excited to see how it turns out."

It was earlier reported that director Matt Reeves finished the sequel's script in June 2025, although it was announced back in 2022, a month after the first film's release.
