Sebastian Stan Becomes 9th Marvel Actor to Jump from the MCU to DC ...
DC keeps stealing Marvel Studios' biggest stars, but this time they're going from hero to villain.
thedirect.comHere are the latest reports on Sebastian Stan and DCU involvement.
- Sebastian Stan is reportedly moving from the MCU to DC Studios, with rumors he’ll join The Batman Part II in a role that’s currently undisclosed. This aligns with multiple outlets noting his potential addition to Matt Reeves’ sequel, and speculation points to him playing a key Gotham figure such as Harvey Dent/Two-Face [source coverage from early January 2026].[1][2][3]
- Confirmed or formal casting details have not been officially announced by DC Studios or Warner Bros. as of now, but trade outlets have repeatedly cited Deadline and other trades indicating Stan is in talks for The Batman Part II, which is targeted for a 2027 theatrical window.[3][4]
- The broader context suggests DC plans for a Batman-centered continuation with Reeves at the helm, while Marvel’s orbit continues with Stan’s well-known portrayal of Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier in the MCU.[2][6]
Illustration (conceptual): If Stan joins The Batman Part II, expect a high-contrast Gotham setting and a morally complex role—likely in the Harvey Dent spectrum—mirroring the character arc that transitions to Two-Face in the comics and films.[2][3]
