Mark Strong as Carmine Falcone wearing a suit and red tinted classes in 'The Penguin'
A superhero show is only as good as its greatest villain, and in The Penguin's case, it's all about the villain. The show is solely dedicated to being about bad guys, focusing on Colin Farrell's portrayal as the detestable Oz Cobb.
Mark Strong Replaced John Turturro as Carmine Falcone Due to Scheduling Conflicts Close Episode 4 of The Penguin was important for several reasons. It was the first episode to primarily focus on Sofia Falcone and answered questions regarding her identity as the Hangman, in addition to her relationship with Oz back when he was her driver. But the most crucial introduction in Episode 4 was that of Carmine Falcone, and the revelation of how evil he truly was.
"Well, practically, John was just unavailable to us… He had scheduling conflicts, and we couldn’t make it work, but honestly, I’m so thrilled that we brought Mark Strong on. I think he’s really good. Even though, maybe in the beginning when you first meet him, you might think, ‘Oh. Well, for fans of The Batman , I’m so used to John Turturro,’ and obviously John’s a great actor, but I feel like the gravitas that Mark brings, it’s different.
1 Carmine Falcone is Crucial to Sofia's Backstory in 'The Penguin' Episode 4 Not only was it crucial to have an excellent replacement for Carmine Falcone, but it was also crucial to Sofia's backstory to have him included in The Penguin in the first place, and the series could not have been what it is without his inclusion.
