The famous actor Colin Ferrell said that he is not sure if he will return to the role of Oswald Cobblepot in the potential second season of the "Penguin" series, considering how difficult it is emotionally and physically to transform into the notorious villain from the Batman franchise. Farrell made his debut as the gangster in 2022's "Batman," and the first season of "The Penguin" begins airing on September 19.
"I don't know, man. Don't get me wrong – I enjoyed the role – but it started to wear on me. I ended up whining and complaining to anyone who would listen that I wanted it to finally be over.... And on I was grateful and honored - I grew up watching Burgess Meredith [who played the role in the 1992s series] and then Denny Devitt [in XNUMX's 'Batman Returns'] as my Penguin - so I felt really privileged that I am part of that story. But in the end...", Farel told Total Film magazine.
He added that at the end of the shoot, he thought he never wanted to wear that suit again.
However, he will have to do it for the film "Batman 2", which begins filming next year and will arrive in theaters on October 2, 2026. The film's director Matt Reeves recently confirmed that Farrell's Penguin will be part of the sequel and that the "Penguin" series leads directly into the story of the film he is preparing.
"Colin will be part of the movie. DC and the studio are very excited. There are details that directly connect to how the next movie opens and how Oz enters that world, while the bat returns to Batman, who is investigating a new case," explained the director. .
However, there is a big difference between making a movie and making a multi-part season of a television series. Because of this, it is possible that Farrell will be more inclined to don the suit for "Batman 2" than for the second season of "The Penguin".
