Max has released a new teaser for\u00a0THE\u00a0PENGUIN<\/b>, from Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios, debuting this fall. Starring Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb (aka \u201cThe\u00a0Penguin\u201d), the eight-episode DC Studios drama series continues The Batman epic crime saga that filmmaker Matt Reeves began with Warner Bros.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Penguin<\/strong>\u201d takes place immediately following the events of DC\u2019s 2022 blockbuster, tracing Cobblepot\u2019s rise to power in the Gotham city as he becomes one of the most prominent villains in the \u201cBatman\u201d universe. In the events of the film, The Penguin served as a lieutenant to crime boss Carmine Falcone, who meets an untimely end. Now, The Penguin is stepping up to lead crime in Gotham City in a series.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was a kid, there was a gangster, real old-school type. Rex Calabrese. He was a big deal. He helped people. He saw you on the street, he\u2019d call out to you,\u201d Cobblepot narrates in the trailer.<\/p>\n Besides Farrell, the film stars Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O\u2019Connell, Clancy Brown, and Michael Zegen.<\/p>\n The series is executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, Lauren LeFranc, who writes and serves as showrunner, Craig Zobel, who directs the first three episodes, and Bill Carraro.<\/p>\n Based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, THE\u00a0PENGUIN\u00a0is produced by Reeves\u2019 6th & Idaho Productions and Dylan Clark Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Reeves and 6th & Idaho are under an overall deal. Daniel Pipski also serves as executive producer.<\/p>\n Farrell\u2019s transformative performance as the iconic villain in \u201cThe Batman<\/strong>\u201d earned him much critical acclaim, and the prosthetics made the actor unrecognizable in the film. A sequel to \u201cThe Batman<\/strong>,\u201d titled \u201cThe Batman: Part II<\/strong>,\u201d was delayed by a year and will now release in theaters on Oct. 2, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a9Courtesy of Max Max has released a new teaser for\u00a0THE\u00a0PENGUIN, from Warner Bros.
