Colin Farrell’s time asThe Penguinmight be coming to an end withThe Batman 2. While he’s owned the role of Gotham’s iconic villain, rumors are swirling that this could be his final bow as the waddling crime boss. Fans love Farrell’s gritty portrayal, but his recent comments have sparked some serious speculation.
Could this be his last trip to Gotham’s seedy underworld? WithThe Batman 2in the works, the actor’s uncertain future as the villain has fans on edge. If it’s true, Farrell’s departure would definitely leave a chilling void in Gotham’s rogues’ gallery. But hey, it’s Gotham, so never say never!
Colin Farrell’s Uncertain Future as The Penguin
Colin Farrellmay be on the verge of hanging up his Penguin prosthetics for good. During a candid sit-down onJoBlo Celebrity InterviewsYouTube channel, Farrell didn’t mince words about a potential second season ofThe Batman.
When the interviewer asked if the makers have planned for a second season ofThe Batmanand whether or not Farrell would be reprising his role as the Penguin, the actor exclaimed, sounding visibly exasperated:
I don’t know. Jesus no, I don’t know. Let’s see how this goes. I have no idea.
Farrell’s frustration doesn’t seem to stem from a lack of enthusiasm for the show itself, but rather from his grueling experience in the Penguin fat suit. Exhausted, yet still gracious, Farrell acknowledged the hard work of the team who helped him endure hours in prosthetics each day.He bluntly admitted,
I never want to put that fucking suit and that fucking head on again.
This revelation comes just eight days before HBO’sThe Penguinseries premieres, a spinoff that bridges the 2022The Batmanand its planned sequel. While Farrell initially enjoyed the character, by the end of filming the eight-episode series, the prosthetics began to take their toll, dampening his enthusiasm for a second season.
The Penguin Director Reveals Reason Behind a Major Change in Colin Farrell’s Character in the Show
During the YouTube interview, Farrell also praised the show’s complexity, giving credit to showrunner Lauren LeFranc’s work. He was particularly impressed with how she crafted the characters’ stories, especially referencing Sophia, played by Christian, and the depth she brought to the show. The Golden Globe award winner alluded,
That’s the brilliant thing that Lauren did in the macro sense of the whole show—Francis Dee, who played my mom, Christian’s work, Sophia, the character that Lauren gave him. Kristen, by designing Sophia as she did, and her story to the show—what happens to her, Vic, all of them.
Colin Farrell hasn’t entirely ruled out a return for season two. He hinted that if LeFranc finds a way to bring him back, he might consider it—but only after some well-deserved rest.“Maybe in a year, I would.”For now, though, it sounds like he’s done with the Penguin suit.
Colin Farrell EmbracesSopranosComparisons atThe PenguinPremiere
Colin Farrell ain’t bothered by comparisons betweenThe PenguinandThe Sopranos. At the NYC premiere ofThe Penguinon Sept. 17, Farrell reacted to the buzz around his portrayal of Oswald “Oz” Cobb. Told his performance echoedThe Sopranos,Farrell took it as high praise. He admitted,
I’ve only seen two episodes. Someday when I grow up, I’ll catch up on The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and The Wire.
AsThe Penguinhits HBO, it seems Farrell’s portrayal of the iconic Gotham villain’s already being talked about in the same breath as television’s greatest. For Farrell, that’s not just a compliment—it’s a win.
