Sebastian Stan Confirms Harvey Dent In The Batman Part Two

Sebastian Stan confirmed he is playing Harvey Dent in The Batman Part II during a French press interview about Avengers: Doomsday. Set photos showing Christmas decorations and wintry dressing have people asking whether Mr. Freeze is next.

I have been waiting on a straight answer about Harvey Dent for months and we finally got one from Sebastian Stan himself. He was doing press for a French outlet, mostly answering questions about Avengers: Doomsday, and he said he only receives the script in pieces and films it that way. Then he said the same thing is happening on The Batman Part II, where he plays Harvey Dent. That is the confirmation. No more rumor cycles, no more insider posts contradicting each other. On top of that, set photos are showing Christmas decorations, which points to the sequel taking place over the holidays, and the production has been posting wintry material that has me hoping for Mr. Freeze. He is one of the best villains in the rogues gallery and most casual fans still know him from Arnold Schwarzenegger. Batman: The Animated Series made him tragic and genuinely cold, and I want a whole new audience to see that version.
