Colin Farrell Penguin in The Batman

Fills the vacuum created after Falcone was killed in The Batman

Colin Farrell returns as the titular character from The Batman, with The Penguin series described as an eight-episode series centering around Oz Cobblepot’s rise to power that fills the vacuum created after Falcone was killed in the movie.

“Matt’s idea originally was to have the Penguin show begin about a week after the end of the Batman film,” Farrell recently revealed. “And then if it works, if the trajectory is entertaining enough and the audience goes for it, and we do our jobs right… have Penguin feature in the second film and pick up where the HBO show will end. So I don’t know how much he’ll be in it.”

The series is now filming in New York City where it is also rumored that Robert Pattinson will appear an Batman in the series as it has been reported that Robert Pattinson has recently been spotted there.

The Penguin is executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Bill Carraro, and Farrell; Lauren LeFranc is the writer and also serves as showrunner, with Craig Zobel directing the first three episodes.
