Narrative
Following the events of Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka From Melting Makeup to Subzero Shooting, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti discuss what it was like to get into character during the production of The Penguin. Colin Farrell fought hard to get his version of The Penguin Smoke Tobacco in Batman (2022), but to no avail. However, in his own series, the character is portrayed as an occasional tobacco user who prefers cigars.
I’ve never seen Farrell so invested in a character
He appeared in Graham Norton in the Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024) genre. So the first episode is done and it was great. I mean, yes, he’s wearing a fat suit, but you’d never know it.
He is a New York gangster, a smart guy
His demeanor, body language, and voice make you immerse yourself in the character and see only Penguin. He has no relation to any other penguin on live television, Burgess Meredith or Robin Lord Taylor. He is a Scorsese gangster, but without the flowery language.
Very funny and highly recommended
Penguin is a middleman in a mafia organization. Up until now, he has done what he can, slowly rising through the ranks, and then, faced with the fallout of the Riddler blowing up the sea wall of a seaside town and the death of his boss in this film, he sees an opportunity to move up in the world. Now begins a game of cross, double cross, and, I guess, triple cross.
