The Penguin is set to make a grand return in the upcoming Max series, with Colin Farrell reprising his role in the new trailer. The series is a spin-off from the 2022 DC film The Batman, where The Penguin was depicted as a loyal lieutenant to crime boss Carmine Falcone, who meets an unfortunate demise. Now, The Penguin is poised to take the reins of crime in Gotham City, promising viewers a thrilling narrative reminiscent of DC's The Sopranos.
The series is a creation of DC Studios, a division of Warner Bros. overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran, who are actively building a shared universe of movies and TV shows. Notably, both The Batman and The Penguin exist in a separate universe under the Elseworlds banner, paying homage to the alternate universe stories in DC Comics.
