Scarlett Johansson is reportedly in talks to jump from the Marvel universe to DC, joining Robert Pattinson in the highly anticipated The Batman 2.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, the Jurassic World: Rebirth star is in ‘final negotiations’ to join the cast, though her character details remain under wraps.

The Batman, which is set in a different universe from James Gunn’s Superman, also starred Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth and Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobb/The Penguin.
