a custom image of Colin Farrell for The Penguin series
The Big Picture From executive producer Matt Reeves, the eight-episode DC Studios/HBO series The Penguin, which takes place after the events of The Batman and prior to the upcoming sequel, places Oz Cobb in the center of Gotham’s criminal underworld. At the same time, Sofia Falcone , mob boss Carmine Falcone’s daughter, free from Arkham Asylum and wondering what comes next for her in a boys’ club of organized crime that’s not welcoming her with open arms.
The Prosthetics Design for 'The Penguin' Directly Influenced Colin Farrell's Portrayal of Oz Cobb Colin, this is obviously a rare opportunity to more deeply explore a character that you’d already played.
It was a case of, surely we didn’t do all this just for five scenes. I got greedy. I was so thrilled to be a part of The Batman, but it was about the second month of shooting that I said to Dylan Clark on the set, “We should do a show. We should do eight hours of this.” And then, I didn’t do anything about it, by the way. I’m not saying I created this. I stepped away, I went back to life, I did another job.
I really just had fun with what I thought the Penguin should look like based on what Matt Reeves’ inspirations were. We spent some time on the phone, Matt Reeves and I, and we talked about film and characters, and The Godfather and Fredo, and Bob Hoskins from Roger Rabbit, and Al Capone and some older gangsters in the thirties. I just started doing research, and I was really inspired.
MARINO: He said, “Oh, I think I see something here.” And Colin said, “Well, that’s my own skin there.” It wasn’t part of the makeup. It was exciting. It was an exciting time. No one knew who he was on set. He walked around and no one knew who he was, and people were like, “Who is this weird guy looking at me on set?” It really became this dream project to work on, being so inspired and being such a fan of it. And I think Colin’s performance really is so different than anyone’s version.
