Watch the trailer for The Penguin
The Penguin is finally set to be released two years after the release of Matt Reeves' The Batman. The 2022 flick starring Robert Pattinson introduced fans to a new vision of Gotham and a fresh spin on the DC universe's famous characters.
Set a week after the events of The Batman, The Penguin sees Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb attempt to seize power in Gotham's criminal underworld and expand his business empire. The unpredictable Sofia Falcone, played by Cristin Milioti, returns to Gotham and wants to pick up the Falcone criminal empire and comes to odds with The Penguin.
Also starring are Boardwalk Empire’s Michael Zegen as Alberto Falcone, Billion’s Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni, Runaways’ Rhenzy Feliz as Victor Aguilar and House of Cards’ Michael Kelly as Johnny Vitti.
