“Violent as anything, it\u2019s so dark. I hope it\u2019s good.” <\/p>
The Penguin, the upcoming HBO spin-off series of The Batman<\/a>, has officially wrapped filming.<\/p>\n A follow up to the events of the 2022 gritty superhero flick, the show will explore the infamous comic-book villain\u2019s rise to power, and is set to be released later this year.<\/p>\n Colin Farrell, who stars as the titular Penguin, otherwise known as Oswald \u201cOz\u201d Cobblepot, spoke exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a> about what it was like filming the show \u2013 and just how done he is with all of those prosthetics.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cWe wrapped it like two weeks ago, it was mad. What an adventure. I never have any idea what any of this s**t is going to turn out to be, that we do over the years. You just keep your fingers crossed and do the best you can\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s dark, The Penguin<\/a>. It\u2019s so dark. I\u2019m so glad to be done with it, and I loved it, but man I was ready not to sit in the makeup chair anymore when we finished.<\/p>\n \u201cI loved doing the character in the film and this really did get to look, as they say in America, under the hood.\u201d<\/p>\n Farrell continued: \u201cIn the film, he\u2019s all flash and pizazz and he\u2019s a raconteur and he\u2019s a proprietor at the club, and you get five or six scenes, and I loved it, but this really got to look under the hood and get into his backstory.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s his rise to some version of power that he\u2019s always dreamed of inhabiting, you know? Violent as anything, it\u2019s so dark. I hope it\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n Recently, a first-look trailer was unveiled<\/a>, showing Farrell again looking unrecognisable in dramatic prosthetics.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Alongside Farrell, Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O\u2019Connell, Clancy Brown and Michael Zegen are all set to star in The Penguin.<\/p>\n A full synopsis is yet to be revealed for the show, but we do know that the show \u201ccontinues The Batman epic crime saga that filmmaker Matt Reeves began with Warner Bros Pictures\u2019 global blockbuster The Batman\u201d.<\/p>\n It\u2019s yet to be revealed if Robert Pattinson\u2019s variant of Bruce Wayne will make a cameo, so for now, all we can do is hope, but with a sequel to The Batman<\/a> already on the way, there\u2019s still lots to be excited for.<\/p> The Penguin will arrive on HBO later this year.
