While details are up in the air for now, the site\u2019s sources said that, should he reach a deal with DC, it is believed he will play father of Harvey Dent a.k.a. Two-Face, Charles Dent.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Dance has experience playing tough dads, as he is likely best known, at least by fantasy fans, for playing Tywin Lannister in HBO\u2019s Game of Thrones. Some of his earliest projects, such as Father Brown, see his resume date back to the \u201870s, but movie fans may have also recently seen him in things like Godzilla: King of the Monsters, The First Omen, and Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Frankenstein.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">Charles Dance.

Charles Dent, who has gone by Christopher Dent in some previous iterations of the character, is Two-Face\u2019s not-so-loving father. He\u2019s not a name explored by DC too often, giving the The Batman Part 2 team at DC Studios room to potentially show viewers a new side to his character should Dance play him.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Should Dance sign on to play the Dent dad, he\u2019ll join Sebastian Stan, who was <u>announced for the film back in January<\/u> before later being confirmed to play Harvey. Scarlett Johansson, who <u>joined The Batman sequel<\/u> in December, is expected to play Harvey\u2019s wife. Although the growing Dent lineup suggests the Gotham district attorney will undergo his villainous transformation, details about the movie\u2019s plot have yet to be revealed.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">DC is reportedly attempting to round out the Dent family with another big name. Other names expected to return from the original 2022 take on the Caped Crusader include Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne\/Batman, <u>Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth<\/u>, and Barry Keoghan as the Joker.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Batman Part 2 currently has a theatrical release date of October 1, 2027. Matt Reeves has returned as its director and writer. Last month, Pattinson <u>called the film\u2019s script<\/u> &#8220;extraordinary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I think it\u2019s going to be a really, really, really special movie,&#8221; the star said at the time. &#8220;And very, very different to\u2026 even from the last one. I was reading it going like, \u2018Oh wow! Okay!\u2019 It\u2019s going to be interesting seeing it come out. It\u2019s taking some big swings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Photo by Kate Green\/Getty Images.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Michael Cripe is a freelance writer with IGN.
