Director Matt Reeves stepped away in early October to attend to a family matter, and production paused. Soderbergh will shoot the final weeks of principal photography, working closely with Reeves.

"Just to be clear, I am not leaving The Batman: Part II." Reeves will not be on set for the rest of filming but plans to return for post-production.

Soderbergh, the Oscar-winning director of Traffic and Erin Brockovich, said the goal is footage that will integrate seamlessly with what has already been shot.
