Last week, Max finally released the trailer for their much-anticipated The Batman spin-off series, The Penguin, teeing up its fall release date. Overall, it looks highly reminiscent of Matt Reeves’ film, with the cinematography very much in the Grieg Fraser mode. But what else do we know about The Penguin? More than you may think.
The Penguin is set after The Batman.
The plot of The Penguin is set to follow the title character, once again portrayed by Colin Farrell, as he rises through the ranks of the Gotham City criminal underworld. After the events of The Batman and the flooding of Gotham, including the death of Carmine Falcone, Cobblepot desperately wants to fill the power vacuum. Colin Farrell has also indicated that the film will serve as an origin story for the Penguin, something we have seen twice on screen before in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, played by Danny DeVito.

There are a bunch of DC projects coming up. Everyone’s excited about James Gunn’s DC Universe and his new ‘Creature Commandos’ & ‘Superman.’ But don’t forget about the Elseworlds projects, like ‘The Batman’ movie series, and other projects in the works like the upcoming ‘The Penguin’ show.
Last week, they dropped a teaser for ‘The Penguin’. It takes place a week after ‘The Batman’ and it’s all about Cobblepot making his way up in Gotham. Colin Farrell is coming back as ‘The Penguin’ – he got a lot of love for that role. In a recent interview, Farrell talked about what fans can expect from the show, and it doesn’t sound too pretty.
We wrapped it, man. We did it. Stuck a fork in it about two weeks ago. It was a long and really wonderful experience. And it’s dark, that’s what I can tell you about it.

The next big thing is ‘The Penguin’ live-action series.
Last week the teaser for ‘The Penguin’ dropped. The show takes place one week after the events of ‘The Batman’ and will closely follow Cobblepot’s rise to power in Gotham. Colin Farrell is returning to the role of ‘The Penguin’ – the role for which he was highly praised.

Due to arrive this year, The Penguin, Warner’s TV spin-off from The Batman, is “incredibly violent” and “twisted” says title star Colin Farrell.
Matt Reeves’ The Batman wasn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows, so it follows that its upcoming spin-off series, simply called The Penguin, will be similarly dark.
In fact, if we’re interpreting recent quotes from title star Colin Farrell correctly, the series could be even more withering and nightmarish than the movie. Talking to MovieZine (via Deadline), Farrell said that filming had wrapped on the series a couple of weeks ago, and that “It’s dark… really dark.”
It’s really heavy, I think, it certainly was doing it,” he said. “Which is not to say I didn’t have fun, I had an amazing time doing it, but it’s incredibly violent.”

Wak! Wak! Fans who wanted Matt Reeves’ The Batman to lean into the violence of Gotham City could be in for a treat when The Penguin arrives on Max. The spinoff series, starring Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot, could find the classic villain breaking more than bones as he continues to waddle toward the top of Gotham’s criminal food chain. Speaking with MovieZine, Farrell said The Penguin is gnarlier than Reeves’ PG-13 Batman film and should be considered “incredibly violent.”
“It was a long and really wonderful experience,” Farrell said about filming The Penguin series. “It’s dark; that’s what I can tell you about it. It’s really dark.

Before Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” opened in theaters in March 2022, there was a lot of discussion online surrounding the movie’s rating. Many comic book fans were hoping to get the first Dark Knight movie with an R rating, but the film earned a PG-13 nonetheless. The universe of “The Batman” is expanding with the upcoming Max series “The Penguin,” starring Colin Farrell as Gotham City gangster Oswald Cobblepot. The actor recently told MovieZine that the series is “incredibly violent,” which should appease the “The Batman” fans who wanted an ultra-violent R-rated cut of the film.
“It was a long and really wonderful experience,” Farrell said about filming “The Penguin” series. “It’s dark; that’s what I can tell you about it. It’s really dark. It’s really heavy, I think— it certainly was doing it. Which is not to say I didn’t have fun, I had an amazing time doing it.

The Penguin trailer offers a glimpse into the forthcoming installment of The Batman saga ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
The latest trailer for The Penguin sees Colin Farrell reprising his role as Oswald Cobblepot, alias Penguin. The trailer delves into the DC villain’s contemplation of the posthumous recognition bestowed upon a local gangster by the community during his upbringing, prompting Cobblepot to ponder the significance of such acknowledgement. “Can you imagine being remembered like that?” Cobblepot queries an off-screen character. The trailer doesn’t spill much about the story, but it does give us quick peeks at Cristin Milioti playing Sofia Falcone and Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni.
Announced in September 2021, “The Penguin” continues the saga of Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobblepot shortly after the events depicted in “The Batman 2023,” as he manoeuvres to assert his authority within Gotham’s criminal hierarchy. The production of the eight-episode limited series commenced in...

The Penguin, starring Collin Farrell will expand on Gotham City from Matt Reeves’ The Batman. It follows Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot’s rise to becoming a major crime lord in the Gotham underworld.

While The Joker may be the most iconic and memorable comic book antagonist in the world today, the depiction of Oswald Cobblepot in the 2022 masterpiece The Batman by Collin Farrell pushed the character’s popularity to the next level.
Thus, seeing just how revered the character became with his introduction in the film, Warner Bros. decided that he deserved his spin-off series to further explore him.

And thankfully this time, the star was granted his wish to smoke cigars on set and screen for The Penguin, something that the star wasn’t allowed to do when he was working with filmmaker Matt Reeves on the movie since WB had a no-smoking policy in place.
The reason why Farrell wanted to smoke was to bring his character closer to the comic-accurate recreation of Cobblepot, who is always seen with a cigar in his mouth.

“When I was a kid, there was a gangster, real old school type,” recalls Oswald Cobblepot at the start of the trailer for The Penguin. Anyone who has seen a gangster flick before recognizes that kind of talk. Henry Hill, Tony Soprano, Michael Corleone — wiseguys love to wax poetic about the past.
It’s no secret that the classic Batman villain was a highlight of 2021’s The Batman, with director Matt Reeves taking a more grounded approach to the bird-themed character that removed the bright colors and gimmicks. The Penguin’s storyline in the movie focused on his rise through the mob and his spinoff series will continue that tale of ascendance, as Cobblepot works to fill the void in the Gotham underworld left in the wake of Carmine Falcone’s death.
But the Penguin isn’t the only mobster from the comics who will appear or be referenced on this gangster show.

The sequel to the 2022 superhero hit “The Batman” may have been pushed to 2026, but fans of Matt Reeves’ take on Gotham City will have “The Penguin” to tide them over later this year.
On Friday, Max released a new trailer for the DC Studios limited series starring Colin Farrell as mobster Oz Cobb, aka the Penguin. Farrell’s Penguin was a supporting character in “The Batman” (and one of its best parts), but he gets center stage here as he tries to grab power in Gotham’s underworld after the death of his boss, Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), in “The Batman.”
With Farrell again unrecognizable under layers of prosthetic makeup, Cobb tells a story about Rex Calabrese, a gangster who ran his neighborhood when he was a kid.

The Penguin is ready to take the big seat. Colin Farrell is back as The Penguin in the new trailer for his Max series, which spins out of the world of the 2022 DC film The Batman.
In the events of the film, The Penguin served as a lieutenant to crime boss Carmine Falcone, who meets an untimely end. Now, The Penguin is stepping up to lead crime in Gotham City in a series that looks like DC’s answer to The Sopranos.
The series hails from DC Studios, the Warner Bros. division run by James Gunn and Peter Safran, who are plotting out their own shared universe of movies and TV shows. Both The Batman and The Penguin are considered separate from those plans, and take place in their own universe under the Elseworlds banner — a nod to alternate universe stories in the DC Comics.

"Can you imagine to be remembered like that?" Max has unveiled the first real teaser trailer for the spin-off series The Penguin, set to debut in the fall this year. This streaming series will follow the transformation of Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot from a disfigured nobody to the noted Gotham gangster, after the events of The Batman movie. Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell returns from The Batman (loved him in it) as Oz, bringing us his full transformation into the infamous DC Comics villain who gives Batman quite a fright. The first episodes are being directed by Craig Zobel who seems like a perfect choice for this. We featured an early production teaser last year. The full ensemble cast also has Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown, Michael Zegen, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Deirdre O'Connell, James Madio, Scott Cohen, Theo Rossi, Carmen Ejogo, and François Chau. Ohhhhhhh this looks So damn good.

The bat is nowhere to be seen in the latest trailer for “The Penguin,” but that doesn’t mean that Gotham City crime is running rampant…yet.
Max’s “Batman” spinoff “The Penguin” is produced by “The Batman” writer/director Matt Reeves, with Dylan Clark executive producing. Colin Farrell reprises his role of corrupt nightclub owner Oz Cobb from Reeves’ 2022 feature starring Robert Pattinson as the titular superhero.
Following the events of the film which saw most of Oswald’s gang members either killed or incarcerated, Oswald is climbing the ranks in underground organized crime. The cast is rounded out by Cristin Milioti, who portrays Sofia, daughter of John Turturro’s mafia boss Carmine Falcone, and Theo Rossi, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Carmen Ejogo, François Chau, and David H.

Colin Farrell returns to Gotham City as Oz Cobb, aka Oswald Cobblepot, in the trailer for “The Penguin,” a spinoff series of “The Batman” coming this fall to Max.
“The Penguin” takes place immediately following the events of DC’s 2022 blockbuster, tracing Cobblepot’s rise to power in the Gotham underworld as he becomes one of the most prominent villains in the “Batman” universe. Farrell gives a classic gangster monologue throughout the trailer, which slowly ramps up the violence and gunfights in Gotham City’s seedy underground.
“When I was a kid, there was a gangster, real old-school type. Rex Calabrese. He was a big deal. He helped people. He saw you on the street, he’d call out to you,” Cobblepot narrates in the trailer. “When I was 14 or something, he has a heart attack and dies, still holding a cigar. In my neighborhood, they throw a parade in his honor.

Numerous DC-based projects are currently in development, with much attention focused on Gunn’s Dcu and his upcoming ‘Creature Commandos’ & ‘Superman.’ However, it’s easy to overlook the Elseworlds projects, including ‘The Batman’ film series and several others. Among these, the next big release is the live-action series ‘The Penguin’.
Recently, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced the show’s release date. We can anticipate ‘The Penguin’ to hit Max in Q3 of 2024, meaning between July and September of that year.
Now Sebastian O’Hara, Production Assistant, shared on X that the trailer for the show is complete. He mentioned that he just finished watching it, so we can expect the trailer to be released for the general public soon.

Whether you loved The Batman (2022) or thought it was overhyped, it's hard to find anyone who didn't at least enjoy Colin Farrell's unique take on the Penguin.
So, when it came time to pitch a spin-off, Farrell's scene-stealing crime boss seemed the natural choice. He steals your attention anytime he's on the screen, and who doesn't love an epic crime drama?
Details on the new TV series following Oswald Cobblepot are scant at present, but we've managed to dig up a bit of info to whet the appetite.
Has The Penguin Been Greenlit?
Yes, The Penguin is in post-production as of the time of this writing, so go ahead and get excited. This isn't one of those things they announce, and then everyone forgets about it; it's actually happening.
Filming has already wrapped, and now it's simply a matter of waiting for the release date.

Yet another production hit by the strikes – TV spin-off The Penguin, starring The Batman’s Colin Farrell – has resumed filming.
Like Beetlejuice 2 and numerous other productions in the works this year, The Penguin was disrupted by the writers’ and actors’ strikes which took place through much of 2023.
The Penguin, the TV spin-off from Matt Reeves’ 2022 film The Batman, originally began filming back in March, only for it to be called off as those strikes began in June. After a lengthy – and most likely, costly – hiatus of about eight months, Variety reports that shooting has now resumed on the TV series.
In it, an unrecognisable Colin Farrell reprises his role as Oswald Cobblepot, who you may remember from Reeves’ film was depicted as a mid-ranking hoodlum rather than the formidable crime boss – unlovingly nicknamed the Penguin – known from the comics. Logically enough, the TV series will chart Cobblepot’s rise...

Colin Farrell will head back to Gotham City the week after Thanksgiving as production restarts on “The Penguin” television series.
Production on Max’s DC spinoff was shut down due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, which started on July 14 and lasted 118 days.
HBO chief content officer Casey Bloys told reporters during an event earlier this month that the series is expected to premiere next year, despite the delays around the project.
The eight-episode series, which picks up after the conclusion of feature superhero reboot “The Batman,” will explore how Oswald Cobblepot rose to power to become the iconic villian.
In addition to Farrell, the previously announced cast includes Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo and Deirdre O’Connell, with Clancy Brown and Michael Zegen recurring.
The series is executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Farrell and Lauren LeFranc, who writes and serves as showrunner, as well as Craig Zobel,...

The final season of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” featured plenty of time jumps to the future that surprised fans, but perhaps none were quite as shocking as when Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) visited with Joel (Michael Zegen)…in jail.

It was a stunning twist for the actors as well.
“I don’t like to know anything in advance,” Zegen said as part of an IndieWire’s Awards Spotlight conversation with Brosnahan. “I like to read the episodes and take it from there.”

“When I first read the pilot, I honestly thought that he wasn’t coming back,” admits Michael Zegen of his character Joel on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” But Joel did more than just come back on the Amazon series. The fifth and final season vindicated the character, a process that Joel has worked at for years. “I feel like every season there was some sort of redemption for him,” suggests Zegen. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Joel’s ultimate redemption arrives with a decision of self sacrifice. He makes a deal with the mob to release their hold on Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) in exchange for getting a cut of Joel’s business. It’s a selfless act that frees Midge to have the career of her dreams, but ultimately lands Joel in jail. “I don’t think it was that difficult at all for him to reach that decision,...

The union strike from the Writer’s Guild of America continues, and studios are about to really hit a wall if a strike from the Screen Actor’s Guild goes into effect. However, there are many films and TV shows that are experiencing production delays as Hollywood hopes for an agreement to be met. Some projects barely squeaked by, like James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy, but the newest reported projects that have been delayed are the Disney+ revival of the Marvel Studio’s show Daredevil: Born Again and Warner Bros’ HBO The Batman spin-off, Penguin.
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that both shows were shut down multiple times due to the strike, and it was decided just to put the productions on hold until the strike ends. Daredevil: Born Again and Penguin‘s shutdown would join other productions like Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune for Lionsgate. Marvel Cinematic Universe movies...

Sometimes, superheroes just can’t power through a challenging situation. Marvel and Disney+’s Daredevil: Born Again and DC/Max collaboration Penguin are shutting down for the duration of the writers strike, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The double shuttering occurs after both series were shut down multiple times due to picketing writers.
Daredevil: Born Again and Penguin are the latest productions to shutter amid the strike, which began May 2 and stopped work on features such as Lionsgate and Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune. Additionally, two Marvel Studios movies (Thunderbolts and Blade) opted to postpone the start of production as the scripts were not quite ready.
Daredevil: Born Again is an 18-episode series that will return Charlie Cox to the role he initially played for three seasons on Netflix. Vincent D’Onofrio is back as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, while Jon Bernthal returns as Frank Castle/The Punisher. Michael Gandolfini, Margarita Levieva...

Two high profile superhero series — “Daredevil: Born Again” and “The Penguin” — have halted production until the end of the writers strike.
“Daredevil: Born Again” is set for Disney+, while “The Penguin” is a Max show. Both are expected to debut in 2024.
“Born Again” is a semi-continuation of the Netflix show “Daredevil,” which ran from 2015 to 2018 on Netflix. Charlie Cox, who originated the role in the first “Daredevil” series, will reprise it for “Born Again.” The superhero has since been absorbed into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and made appearances in the film “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and the series “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.” Vincent D’Onofrio will also reprise his role as big bad Kingpin, while Jon Bernthal is back as The Punisher.
“The Penguin” is a spinoff from Matt Reeves’ 2022 film “The Batman,” in which Colin Farrell played the iconic villain. He will be returning to the prosthetics-heavy role for the criminal underworld series.

[The following story includes spoilers for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.]
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel may have come to a close on May 26, but the characters at the heart of the Emmy-winning series will stay with the castmembers who played them for much longer than that.
The final season of the show from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino saw the characters at the heart of it accomplish satisfying arcs — from one of the leads going to jail for his ex-wife to two other characters running in between stand-still traffic on New York City’s Upper West Side to support their daughter.
Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) and her father, Abe Weissman (Tony Shalhoub), have perhaps come further than most pairs in the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. They went from not understanding each other and not having much of a relationship in season one to realizing they’re a lot more like the other than either of them realized when the show kicked off.
