With the script for The Batman II finally complete, the stars of Matt Reeves’ long-awaited sequel are breaking their silence one by one. Colin Farrell — whose portrayal as the Penguin has kept Reeves’ Epic Crime Saga afloat in the years between The Batman and The Batman II — is the latest to shower praise on Reeves’ work. He recently appeared on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, where he expressed genuine excitement for the “dense,” “really, really intelligent” story.
“I really do think it’s a masterwork,” Farrell told Horowitz. “Kind of a contemporary genre masterwork. It’s so brilliant and Robert [Pattinson] has got such a lovely journey to go on and take the audience through.”
