Colin Farrell expressed uncertainty about reprising his role as Oswald Cobblepot in a potential second season of HBO's 'The Penguin,' citing the physically and emotionally taxing nature of the character's transformation. He shared that while he enjoyed the role, by the end of filming, he was eager for it to conclude, admitting he had been 'bitching and moaning' about wanting to finish. Farrell acknowledged his gratitude for being part of the iconic lineage of the character but indicated he would need a break before returning. Director Matt Reeves confirmed that Farrell will reprise his role in 'The Batman 2,' which is set to begin production next year. The first season of 'The Penguin' premieres on September 19, 2024, and serves as a lead-in to the sequel film. Farrell's comments highlight the challenges actors face when embodying such demanding roles.
