The Best DC Villains in Years Address Returning in The Batman 2

by

Matt Reeves, both writer and director, brought a fresh perspective to Batman with “The Batman” approximately three years ago. Since then, Reeves has been occupied not just in gearing up for the film’s sequel but also collaborating on expanding Gotham city’s universe by introducing The Penguin on television. Originally designed as a precursor linking “The Batman” and “The Batman Part II,” the limited series, and its stars Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti have now shed light on what lies ahead.

The award-nominated duo recently had a chat with The Wrap about their work on the series and their experience of extending the universe initially introduced by Matt Reeves in “The Batman”. They hinted at Colin Farrell’s anticipated comeback as The Penguin in the much-anticipated sequel to “The Batman”, though he mentioned that The Penguin might not feature extensively in the sequel. However, he will be delving into the script this week and is ready to stay for however long, even though his character may not have many scenes. He also expressed admiration for Matt Reeves’ genius but admitted that he isn’t aware of the storyline yet.

Regarding speculation that Oz might join forces with Sofia Falcone in “The Batman Part II,” the actress, Sofia Milioti, expresses enthusiasm for the possibility: “I truly look forward to revisiting her character. I’d love to play Sofia Falcone once more.

Colin Farrell & Cristin Milioti React To The Penguin’s Awards Recognition

As a devoted movie buff, I’m thrilled to share that not only have I been recognized for my role as Oswald Cobb on “The Penguin,” but so has the phenomenal Michelle Milioti who brought Sofia Falcone to life. To top it off, our remarkable co-star Deirdre O’Connell, portraying Oz’s mother Francis, also landed a nomination. Incredibly, all three of us are first-time Emmy nominees! Speaking with the press about this wonderful recognition, I found myself reflecting on the journey and the satisfaction that comes from having our hard work in “The Penguin” appreciated.

Colin Farrell considered his nomination and overall experience on ‘The Penguin’ as the cherry on top of an already fantastic cake. He enjoyed every moment of it immensely, calling it a source of joy, an adventure, and a shared experience. On the other hand, Milioti expressed her delight not only for herself but also for the show, which garnered numerous nominations. For her, this recognition extended across all departments, making it an extraordinary achievement.

Both actors were thrilled to receive their nominations for their exceptional performances, but they were equally eager to immerse themselves in the wide-ranging universe of Gotham. For Farrell, playing The Penguin was not just a routine genre role. He acknowledged the emotional depth within the narrative, and how it revolved around damaged characters, using emotions as the primary force to shape the storyline. “The entire project felt deeply personal,” he said, “because it’s a grand tale – massive in scope, encompassing a vast world, yet amidst all its enormity and scale, it feels incredibly personal from each character’s backstory and the emotional bonds we all share. Everything is rooted in the personal, in emotion.

Fans who are curious about what’s coming up for The Penguin and Sofia Falcone can currently catch up on the show as it’s now available on HBO Max. Although a second season of the popular series hasn’t been confirmed, Warner Bros. has not yet dismissed the possibility either.
