Max's spin-off of The Batman featuring the Penguin had to pause filming due to the Hollywood strikes, but is now set to resume production next week. The series will continue where The Batman left off, delving into the actions of Cobblepot after the power vacuum created by Carmine Falcone's departure. Falcone was portrayed by John Turturro and manipulated by the Riddler to be killed, with Batman unknowingly assisting in the process.
In addition to the update, Empire posted our first new look at Farrell, with slick new duds. Check out the image below.
This will be the Penguin's first solo series, and feature a slew of who's who of Gotham's crimeworld including Cristin Milioti as Carmine's daughter Sofia Falcone; Michael Zegen as Carmine's son Alberto Falcone; and Clancy Brown as rival mobster Salvatore Maroni--who famously attacks Harvey Dent with acid, turning him into Two-Face.
Max's Penguin series will consist of eight episodes and be written and helmed by Lauren LeFranc with The Batman director Matt Reeves serving as an executive producer.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Colin Farrell's The Penguin TV series. The character of the Penguin has always been one of my favorites in the Batman universe, and I am excited to see Farrell's take on the role. The sneak peek that was recently released has only served to increase my excitement. Farrell looks amazing in the role, and I can't wait to see him bring the Penguin to life on screen.
I am also intrigued by the storyline of the series. The Penguin is a complex and morally ambiguous character, and I am interested to see how the show explores his rise to power. I am also curious to see how the series will connect to the events of The Batman. Overall, I am very excited about The Penguin TV series and I can't wait to see more.
