Mark Strong as Carmine Falcone in The Penguin.
It's the day of The Penguin premiere, and one of the series' biggest questions has finally been answered. As soon as it was revealed that Mark Strong would take over the role of legendary Gotham crime boss Carmine Falcone from John Turturro, fans everywhere were questioning why, considering Turturro was universally beloved in the 2022 DC film.
Carmine Falcone is far from the first character to be recast due to scheduling conflicts, and he certainly won't be the last. It's unclear what Turturro was working on to keep him from playing one of the most notorious figures in Gotham's criminal underworld, but it's possible that it was his work on Severance Season 2 that stopped him from reprising his role from The Batman.
The Penguin premieres tonight, and subsequent episodes will begin streaming Sundays at 9 o'clock Eastern Time. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates and coverage of the series and watch The Penguin on Max.
