Oscar-nominee Colin Farrell looked completely unrecognisable in snaps from the set of The Batman spin-off TV series, The Penguin. Reprising his role as Oswald Cobblepot, or the titular Penguin, Colin, 46, donned a number of prosthetics on his face just as he did in in the 2022 film starring Robert Pattinson.The prosthetics gave the actor the appearance of facial scars and a receding hairline, and made him look heavier than his usual slim figure.

Zack Sharf Colin Farrell is currently on the awards circuit touting his Venice-winning performance in “The Banshees of Inisherin,” but next up for the actor is a project of upmost importance to fans: HBO Max’s “The Penguin.” The sequel series to Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” will start filming in early 2023.

Ethan Shanfeld Many actors have taken a stab at playing the Penguin (aka Oswald Cobblepot) over the years, but Danny DeVito’s strange, hilarious and grotesque turn as the Gotham City mobster in “Batman Returns” has stood the test of time. Most recently, Colin Farrell put a darker spin on the villain in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” starring Robert Pattinson. Hooked up to a lie detector test for Vanity Fair, DeVito was forced to share his opinion on Farrell’s performance, saying: “I love Colin. He’s a terrific guy. My Penguin was better.” DeVito then looked over at the polygraph examiner and asked, “Was that the truth? It most certainly was. In my opinion.” Both actors personified the Gotham villain in distinct contexts, with DeVito embodying Tim Burton’s gothic camp style and Farrell operating within the moody noir of Reeves’ pic.
