Colin Farrell ‘Fought Valiantly’ For The Penguin To Have A Cigar, But Warner Bros. Refused

Though Colin Farrell may be having a Hollywood resurgence as he gears up to star in a new The Batman HBO spinoff series and the futuristic A24 film After Yang, in the lives of his two sons, he’s always a main character. Colin, AGE, shares sons James, 18, with ex-girlfriend Kim Bordenave, and Henry, 12, with former Ondine costar Alicja Bachleda-Curús.

HBO Max.Following reports of its existence last year, the streaming service has officially ordered a spin-off series based around The Batman villain which picks up after the film’s events.“The world that Matt Reeves created for The Batman is one that warrants a deeper gaze through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot,” Farrell said.“I couldn’t be more excited about continuing this exploration of Oz as he rises through the darkened ranks to become The Penguin. Will be good to get him back on the streets of Gotham for a little madness and a little mayhem.”Lauren LeFranc (Impulse, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) will serve as writer and showrunner on the series.

Colin Farrell is not done playing Oswald Cobblepot just yet. After a stunning turn as the iconic villain in “The Batman”, the actor will reprise the role in a limited series for HBO Max.

Matt Reeves never meant for Colin Farrell to look unrecognizable in “The Batman.”In the finished film, Farrell’s appearance is utterly obliterated in the role of Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot, the scarred and dumpy mid-level Gotham City gangster with the (unwelcome) nickname of “the Penguin.” But when the 55-year-old director — who co-wrote “The Batman” with Peter Craig — first approached Farrell for the role, he was focused on Farrell’s ability to bring grit and sensitivity in the same performance.“He could have that mix of being incredibly, incredibly scary and volatile, and then all of a sudden, you’d see this vulnerable side that really made you feel for that guy,” Reeves tells Variety. “So I really wanted him to play the character.” When they met, however, Reeves noticed that Farrell had recently gained weight for a different movie, which fit into his conception of the longstanding Batman villain as a mobster akin to John Cazale’s Fredo in “The Godfather” films.“I thought John Cazale has a kind of Penguin nose,” Reeves says.

Despite being one of the most acclaimed and iconic American filmmakers to ever grace the medium, Terrence Malick remains a pretty big mystery to many film fans. This, largely, has to do with the fact that Malick is reluctant to do any sort of press and doesn’t make massive Hollywood blockbusters.
