While we still have a few years to wait for the next Batman movie, the MAX original series The Penguin will hold us over until then, and the second teaser for the project was just released.
Oscar-nominee Colin Farrell reprises his role as Oswald Cobblepot, the titular Penguin and a scene-stealing favorite from Matt Reeves’ The Batman. We got a lot more hints at the plot in this trailer and it’s clear that Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone and Clancy Brown’s Salvatore Maroni will play significant roles in the story. Check it out below:
Carmen Ejogo (Fantastic Beasts, Alien: Covenant), Francois Chau (Lost, The Expanse), David H. Holmes (Hulu’s High Fidelity), and Jared Abrahamson (Hello, Destroyer) were the most recent additions to the cast, all in unknown roles.
Prior to them signing on, the last new additions announced in March of last year included Theo Rossi (Luke Cage, Army of the Dead), James Madio, and Scott Cohen have all been added in unannounced roles. Also joining the cast will be Michael Zegan in an unknown role, but sources speaking with Variety indicate he will be playing Alberto Falcone.
Craig Zobel (The Mare of Easttown) signed on to direct the first two episodes of The Penguin. He will also be serving as an executive producer on the project.
The Penguin project has been discussed for some time and was ordered straight to series shortly after the premiere of The Batman in March 2021.
The Penguin is currently set to debut in Sept. 2024.
