Sebastian Stan did not confirm that he will play Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part 2, despite an earlier report suggesting otherwise. A French interview initially included a quote identifying Stan as the DC character, which quickly led to speculation about his involvement in Matt Reeves’ upcoming film.
According to two insiders, the publication misquoted Stan. Le Journal du Dimanche later updated its online article and removed the statement that had identified him as Harvey Dent.
Sebastian Stan’s Harvey Dent comments were corrected after the French interview sparked casting buzz
Stan discussed several upcoming projects during the interview with TheWrap, including Avengers: Doomsday and Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part 2. When asked about Avengers: Doomsday, he said he did not have access to the complete script during filming.
Stan had previously been linked to Harvey Dent, although neither he nor Reeves had publicly confirmed which character he would play. In May, Stan gave an ambiguous response about his involvement, saying he would play “many roles in this one,” which led some fans to connect the comment to Dent’s dual identity.
The French interview appeared to provide a clearer answer when its original version attributed the words “I play Harvey Dent” to Stan. That wording spread online before the article was corrected.
In the updated version, Stan said he could not discuss The Batman: Part 2 but did not identify his role. The corrected interview therefore did not confirm that he would portray Harvey Dent.
Stan also discussed Avengers: Doomsday during the interview. He said he had not been given the complete script and instead filmed separate scenes while the production continued to develop.
“The producers didn’t want us to read it in its entirety, to avoid journalists asking us questions,” Stan said.
Stan has portrayed Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier, in the MCU since 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. He most recently appeared in Thunderbolts and will return in Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026.
The Batman: Part 2 is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on February 18, 2028. The corrected interview did not reveal which character Stan will play in the film.
