SDCC 2024 Highlights: 'The Penguin' and 'Star Trek'

At San Diego Comic-Con, DC Studios showcased their upcoming HBO series 'The Penguin,' featuring Colin Farrell reprising his role from 'The Batman,' set to premiere on September 19. The series, set a week after the events of 'The Batman,' follows Oswald Cobblepot as he navigates Gotham's criminal underworld, aiming to fill the power vacuum left by the death of Carmine Falcone. Critically acclaimed for his prosthetics-heavy performance, Farrell's depiction of a darker, more sinister Penguin has drawn comparisons to iconic portrayals like Heath Ledger's Joker. The ensemble cast includes Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone and Rhenzy Feliz as Victor Aguilar. Alongside 'The Penguin,' SDCC also featured major announcements for the 'Star Trek' franchise, including trailers for 'Strange New Worlds' season 3, the final season of 'Lower Decks,' a new series 'Starfleet Academy,' and a Michelle Yeoh-led 'Section 31' movie.
