Gotham's Kingpin will be Penguin...
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Before Matt Reeves' The Batman- Part II hits theaters in 2025, HBO Max will release The Penguin in 2024, a spin-off series also set in The Batman universe. Taking place after the events of the first film starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, The Penguin will reportedly reveal Oswald Cobblepot's rise to power as he becomes a major gangster in Gotham City.
Michael Zegen as Alberto Falcone It's been reported that Micheal Zegen has been cast as Alberto Falcone in The Penguin, another one of Carmine's children. Zegen is known for his work on series such as The Walking Dead where he played Randall as well as his roles on Boardwalk Empire and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. In the original DC Comics, Alberto was sent to receive a college education rather than being welcomed into the family business.
Given an underboss in a crime family is conventionally the head's second in command, it stands to reason Vitti may play a crucial role in the show following Carmine Falcone's death in The Batman. Based on his proximity to the deceased leader, it stands to reason the plot could either see Johnny Vitti attempting to carry out Carmine's wishes posthumously, or attempting to take over the Falcone family himself.
Shohreh Aghdashloo - While her exact role is similarly unknown, Shohreh Aghdashloo is seen in The Penguin teaser overseeing a group of men assaulting Penguin, the implication being that she will perhaps be a rival criminal or a member of Gotham's justice system seeking to bring Oz down. Aghdashloo is best known for his roles in The Expanse and House of Sand and Fog.
Theo Rossi - Theo Rossi's role in The Penguin is also currently unknown, but he's best known for his appearance in Sons Of Anarchy and Army Of The Dead. That said, Rossi does also have a history with the superhero genre, having appeared as Hernan Alvarez in Netflix's Luke Cage series.
