Despite rumors that he'd join the cast as Two-Face, Sebastian Stan has seemingly been spotted with a brand-new look while filming The Batman 2... and now DC fans think he might be playing Victor Zsasz in the upcoming sequel.
Here's the thing: The Batman 2 is indeed currently filming, but it hasn't been verified yet that this is a photo from July 2026 (and you can see it for yourself below). Stan shaved his head bald for Fjord, a legal thriller drama that was shot in 2025 and premiered at Cannes in May 2026. If this is a recent photo, that means Stan isn't playing Harvey Dent aka Two-Face after all... and there's some truth to the June 2026 report from The Insneider that claims Stan is playing sadomasochistic creepazoid Victor Zsasz, and that Brian Tyree Henry is playing Harvey Dent.

Though you may not be familiar with Zsasz, we've already seen him three times in live-action form: Tim Booth plays a version that works as an enforcer for Carmine in Batman Begins; Anthony Carrigan played him in the TV show Gotham, and Chris Messina portrayed him as a killer-for-hire who works for Black Mask in Birds of Prey. Zsasz first appeared in Batman: Shadow of the Bat #1 back in 1992, and is known for carving a tally mark into his skin to represent each of his victims.
One fan shared an alleged screenshot from Stan's stylist Michael Fisher, in which he seems to have posted a fan-made photo of Stan as Harvey Dent in response to the clean-shaven photo... so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
The Batman 2 is set to hit theaters on October 1, 2027. For more, check out our list of all the upcoming DC movies and shows.
