As a long-time fan of Colin Farrell‘s captivating performances, I must say that his portrayal of The Penguin has been nothing short of extraordinary. His transformation into the iconic villain was truly mesmerizing, and it left me eagerly awaiting more.
There’s a buzz among fans as Colin Farrell has brought life to the character of The Penguin, but there are concerns that he might part ways with this role soon. While Farrell was virtually unrecognizable as the classic villain opposite Robert Pattinson’s Batman in the 2022 film, he will once more step into the role for HBO’s forthcoming series, The Penguin. However, it remains uncertain whether Colin Farrell will continue to portray Gotham City’s “Gentleman of Crime” beyond this series or if we might see him return in The Batman Part 2.
Here is everything we know about Farrell’s return as the Penguin and if he is leaving the role.
Will Colin Farrell return as the Penguin in The Batman Part 2?
There’s no reason for fans to fret; director Matt Reeves has verified that Colin Farrell will once again take on the role of The Penguin in the 2026 edition of The Batman, which is a sequel.
Additionally, Reeves disclosed that the film will have a direct link to the forthcoming HBO spin-off show, “The Penguin”. In an interview with SFX magazine for their October 2024 edition, he shared that the screenplay is nearly complete.
The filmmaker mentioned that the production is set to begin next year, with the script currently being finalized. Colin Farrell is confirmed to be in the movie. Regularly, we’ve been sharing the script with DC and the studio as we progress, and they seem very enthusiastic about it. (Paraphrased from Deadline)
In the course of his discussion, it was disclosed that the upcoming The Penguin series will function as a starting point for the sequel. Essentially, it will lay the groundwork for the film’s narrative, which will be directly linked to the ending of the series.
Will Colin Farrell leave the Penguin role after The Batman Part 2?
It’s uncertain whether Colin Farrell will relinquish his role as the Penguin following The Batman Part 2, but it appears that the likelihood of him reprising the character is decreasing.
As a gamer, if I were to don the heavy prosthetics for a role like Colin Farrell did, I’d confess that while I appreciated the experience, I couldn’t help but feel a tad irritable towards the end. There were moments when I just wanted to vent about it to anyone who would listen, expressing my frustration and longing for the process to be over. Yet, in hindsight, I realize I should have been more thankful for the opportunity, as I had a bit of a ‘grumpy gratitude’ towards it all.
Despite the grueling hours in the make-up chair, Farrell was “still grateful, and honored.” He said, “I grew up watching Burgess Meredith [who played the role in the ’60s TV series], and then Danny DeVito [in Tim Burton‘s 1992 film Batman Returns] was my Penguin – so being a part of the lineage of that storytelling, I really did feel privileged.”
In response to Lauren LeFranc asking if there was a sensible way to discuss something further, the actor replied affirmatively. He added that he might do so in a year, but after finishing the conversation, he expressed his dislike for wearing the suit and the headpiece again.
Based on what Colin Farrell has said, it seems unlikely that he’ll reprise his role as The Penguin in the future. However, fans continue to hold out hope for potential new developments.
