The Penguin: discover the trailer for the Batman series

The movie The Batmanwas one of the great cinematographic moments of the year 2022. The success of this feature film gave Matt Reeves the opportunity to build his own mini extended universe at DC Comics. We will therefore be entitled to a sequel on the big screen, but also to a derivative series centered on the universe of the Penguin played by the excellent Colin Farrell. This eight-episode project, which is due to be released in 2024 on Max, is on very good track. Here are three good reasons to hope.

A distressing trailer

This production will take place chronologically after The Batman in a Gotham plagued by terrible floods. In this tumultuous context, Oswald Cobblepot's business is going well and he is establishing himself as one of the rising figures of the local underworld.

In this trailer just released by publish Max, we can clearly see that this new strong man will not do any favors to his rivals. Once again, we are amazed by Colin Farrell's interpretation and by his physical transformation.

The latter also seems to adore his role, and he explained the last year: “His violence is apparent (…) and his ability to use it as a tool are present, but we see that we all have weak points. Each person. And being able to find that loophole, dig around it, that would be fun.”

Will Batman be in The Penguin ?

It's a recurring rumor and one that seems more and more likely. According to information from insider Jeff Schneider, Batman would be present in the series. It remains to be seen whether Robert Pattinson himself would reprise this role or whether it would only be a very brief appearance made by another actor or in computer-generated images. We can also imagine a sort of teaser for a more brutal confrontation in the next film The Batman.

What casting for The Penguin ?

Besides Colin Farrell, the series has a solid cast which has something to make us optimistic. We thus note the presence of Cristin Milioti (How I Met Your Mother) who will play Sofia Falcone. The participation of John Turturro (Severance) in Carmine Falcone is also mentioned. Clancy Brown (The Mandalorian) will play Salvatore Maroni.

Finally, the production of the first two episodes is provided by Craig Zobel already working on the series Mare of Eastown. We will of course have to judge the result on the basis of evidence, but the first elements available to us clearly have something to make us optimistic for the future.
