In December 2016, Affleck confirmed that the film was on track to begin shooting in spring 2017.[150] Later that month, Warner Bros. executive Greg Silverman stated that the film would be released in 2018.[151] Around the same time, Affleck stated that the film had no script and that he may end up not directing it.[152] Affleck planned to shoot the film in Los Angeles as doubling for Gotham City.[153] He reaffirmed his commitment to direct the film in his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[154] In late January 2017, Affleck decided to step down as director, but would remain involved as producer and actor.[155][156] By this point, writer Chris Terrio, who won an Academy Award for writing Affleck's Argo and also helped script Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, had turned in a rewrite of the script.[157] On February 10, 2017, it was announced that Matt Reeves was in talks to replace Affleck as the director of the film,[158] however on February 17 it was reported that talks had broken down.[159] Two weeks later, Reeves had officially signed on to direct and co-produce the film.[160] Production was delayed until 2018 as Reeves was tied up in post-production on War for the Planet of the Apes until June 2017,[161] and The Batman is being re-written to allow Reeves more creative freedom as a director.[162] Reeves stated in an interview that the film will feature "an almost-noir driven, detective version of Batman" that will emphasize the heart and mind of the character and will take inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock.[163][164]

On August 2, 2018, Reeves appeared on a Television Critics Association panel and revealed many details about the film. He confirmed that The Batman is an original, noir-driven story and not an origin story. He also revealed that the script is nearing completion and that the film will be set in the established DCEU continuity.[165] Affleck is still involved with the film as a producer, but will not return as Batman. The film is scheduled to start shooting in early 2019.[166] The Batman is scheduled to be released in North America on June 25, 2021
In November 2016, Legendary Entertainment acquired the film and TV rights for Dune.[64][65] Variety reported in December 2016 that Denis Villeneuve was in negotiations to direct the project,[66] which was confirmed in February 2017.[67] In April 2017, Legendary announced that Eric Roth would write the screenplay.[68] Villeneuve explained in March 2018 that his adaptation will be split into two films, with the first installment scheduled to begin production in 2019.[69] Casting includes Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides,[70] Dave Bautista as Rabban, Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Harkonnen,[71] along with Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica,[72] Charlotte Rampling as Reverend Mother Mohiam,[73] Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto Atreides,[74] Zendaya as Chani,[75] and Javier Bardem as Stilgar
