Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated The Batman Part 2 may bring back a major character from HBO Max’s The Penguin spin-off. The possible comeback has already excited fans who have been following Gotham’s crime saga.
Possible Return of Sofia Falcone
Insider Jeff Sneider, speaking on The Hot Mic, hinted that Cristin Milioti might reprise her role as Sofia Falcone in The Batman Part 2. However, he cautioned that this is currently just a rumor, not an official confirmation.
Milioti herself has expressed a strong desire to continue Sofia’s story. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she explained:
“It feels unfinished to me for sure… I would love to revisit her, especially because of where we last saw her.”
In another interview with Deadline, she added:
“I would love the chance to be in The Batman 2 and to share the screen with Zoë [Kravitz]. [Robert Pattinson] is one of our best actors. I would love [the opportunity].”
What We Know So Far About The Batman Part 2
Directed once again by Matt Reeves, The Batman Part 2 will see Robert Pattinson return as Gotham’s Dark Knight. The film is currently set to release on October 1, 2027. DC Studios co-head James Gunn has confirmed that only “six people have read the script” so far, which keeps the storyline tightly under wraps.
Although the plot remains a mystery, Reeves has teased that his sequel will expand Gotham’s crime-ridden world while continuing Batman’s journey as both a detective and a symbol of justice. With characters like Penguin and Selina Kyle still active in the city, Sofia Falcone’s involvement could create a thrilling clash of Gotham’s most dangerous figures.
How Sofia Falcone Could Shape The Batman Part 2
Sofia was introduced in The Penguin as the ruthless heir to the Falcone crime family. Her story arc, left unresolved, makes her a strong candidate to reappear in Gotham’s evolving power struggle. As Penguin grows in influence and Selina Kyle navigates her own path, Sofia’s return could add another layer of tension to Reeves’ dark vision of Gotham.
Moreover, Sofia’s connection to her father, Carmine Falcone, a key figure in The Batman (2022), adds depth to the story. Her ambition and brutality could challenge Gotham’s underworld. She may also test Batman as he continues to balance justice and vengeance.
Where to Watch Before The Batman Part 2
Fans eager to refresh their memory can revisit Gotham’s criminal underbelly now. Both The Batman (2022) and The Penguin Season 1 are available for streaming on HBO Max. These projects set the stage for what may unfold when The Batman Part 2 finally arrives.
While nothing is confirmed, the possibility of a key villain returning makes the upcoming sequel even more intriguing. Until official announcements arrive, fans can only speculate about the role this character may play in Gotham’s next chapter.
