Colin Farrell Returns as Penguin in The Batman 2

Colin Farrell is set to reprise his role as Oz Cobb, the Penguin, in 'The Batman Part II,' with its release scheduled for October 2, 2026. Director Matt Reeves scrapped a Bruce Wayne cameo in 'The Penguin' series, believing it wasn't 'earned.' Farrell's portrayal in 'The Penguin' has been critically acclaimed, with the series finale setting up his character's further development in the film. Farrell has signed up for three Batman films, though he is unsure of his exact role in the second installment, expecting to appear in five or six scenes. The series finale revealed Oz's transformation into a Gotham supervillain, hinting at Bruce Wayne's future involvement. Despite previous challenges with the makeup routine, Farrell is open to returning for a second season of 'The Penguin' if the script is compelling.
