As The Penguin spinoff nears its finish, Colin Farrell could also be reprising him for The Batman sequel, though even he’s gentle on particulars.
Simply because Bruce Wayne received’t be showing in HBO’s The Penguin doesn’t imply Colin Farrell might be waddling away from the film’s sequel. Solely, Farrell is gentle on any particulars, not even totally confirming simply what The Batman follow-up has deliberate for Oz Cobb, if something.
As performed by Farrell, Oz Cobb aka The Penguin was a breakout character, one thing that these behind the scenes had a sense can be the case, as his spinoff sequence was in talks earlier than The Batman even hit screens. With the present itself now an insanely well-liked hit and one of many best-reviewed in years (learn our 10/10 assessment right here), it’s nearly assured that he’ll be developed even additional. As Farrell put it, “I have no idea what the second film is gonna be. I heard Penguin features in it. I haven’t read it. It’d be interesting to see where we pick up from. There’s been so much pipe laid. It’d be interesting to see where it goes from here, you know? But he would be quite different.”
“Quite different” is an understatement, as Cobb has been by a hell of so much in his namesake sequence — definitely greater than he might be allotted in The Batman. With only one episode left (set to air on November tenth), we are able to’t wait to see what kind of state the present leaves Cobb in. Whereas Farrell is perhaps enjoying coy so far as how a lot he is aware of about the way forward for Oz Cobb and The Batman sequel, we love his enthusiasm for and dedication to the character. Not like Cobb, on the finish of the day, this isn’t all about cash.
As for faces within the Batman rogues gallery apart from The Penguin making their technique to the small display, James Gunn has debunked rumors that Barry Keoghan’s Joker can be getting his personal spinoff sequence. Whereas that does sound promising, perhaps all of us want just a little break from the Clown Prince of Crime…
