Colin Farrell Confirms Penguin Appears In The Batman 2

If there is one show that has hooked us all in the last two months, it has to be The Penguin. Starring Colin Farrell in the lead, the show follows Oz Cobb, introduced in The Batman in 2022. The show is set right after the events of the Robert Pattinson starrer and moves Gotham’s story forward. It’s expected that the finale, set to stream this coming Monday, will pave the way for The Batman Part II. But the most common question on the internet right now is whether The Penguin will have his time in the sequel. Colin Farrell has now broken his silence, confirming that he will indeed appear in The Batman 2 though there’s a twist.

Colin Farrell Returns as Penguin in The Batman 2

Matt Reeves has already hinted cryptically that Colin Farrell’s Penguin will have a role in The Batman 2. While he won't be as unhinged as in the show, he will still be the same unpredictable, notorious character we've come to understand more deeply. Going a step further, Colin Farrell confirmed that he is part of the movie but revealed he has no idea about the second film’s details yet. Read on to know more.

“I have no idea what the second film is gonna be,” Colin Farrell told Comicbook. “I heard Penguin features in it. I haven’t read it.” The Batman Epic Crime Saga has many directions it could go, and we’re all eager to see what the creators have in store. Even Colin is unaware, saying, “There’s been so much pipe laid. It’d be interesting to see where it goes from here, you know? But he would be quite different.”

The Batman 2 is one of the most anticipated movies in the world, set for a 2026 release, exactly two years from this month.

A recent update suggests that Sofia Falcone will play a pivotal role in the sequel. Read on to know more.

According to scooper My Time To Shine Hello, Sofia, played by Cristin Milioti, will have a major role in The Batman 2. The scooper wrote, "[Cristin Milioti's] Sofia Falcone will play a big role in The Batman Part II.” However, there are no details on the exact scope of her role, whether she is the main villain, or her exact capacity in the story.
