PenguinHe spin off from the movie saga Batman Matt Reeves, a new official trailer has appeared. The video posted by Max focuses on the character of Oswald Cobblepot, aka Oz Cobb, played by Colin Farrell. The protagonist’s speech and accompanying images set the tone for the series, which will focus on the villain’s rise to power.
Promotion Penguin focuses on Cobblepot and the people of Gotham seeking recognition. In fact, Gangster tells the story of Rex Calabrese, a gangster who “helped people” and who became an authority figure in his neighborhood to the point that a parade was organized in his honor after his death.
“Damn parade. […] Can you imagine being remembered this way?” Cobb muses, making it clear that he is seeking equal or greater recognition. Certainly, Penguin maintains the dark and brutal tone that we already appreciated in the first part. Batmanand this will certainly continue in the sequel.
Penguin will reach max with 8 episodes. In addition to starring Colin Farrell, the cast will include Clancy Brown, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Michael Kelly, Cristin Milioti, Renzi Feliz, Deirdre O’Connell and Michael Zegen. The series will be executive produced by Matt Reeves, director of Batman And Batman 2. The release date has not yet been confirmed, although the trailer indicates that the new product will be available in the fall.
PenguinHe spin off from Batman it creates high expectations
An important point to keep in mind is that Penguin will be a direct continuation of the events that took place in Batman. Let’s remember that in the 2022 film Enigma (The Riddler in Latin America), Carmine Falcone is killed shortly after James Gordon arrests him.
The escalation of violence to fill the position left vacant by the death of a mob boss will be a common thread in the Max series. Oswald Cobblepot, one of Falcone’s henchmen, will try to take the place of his former boss. However, he will face a similar desire from Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti), who will try to follow in the footsteps of her father and lead the criminal world of Gotham.
It will also be interesting to see how much weight Clancy Brown has as Salvatore Maroni, another historical gangster from the Batman universe. It goes without saying that his path will cross Cobblepot’s in Penguin.
First three episodes Penguin will have a direction Craig Zobel, but it is still unknown who is in charge of the other five. The series was one of many hit by strikes by Hollywood writers and actors, which delayed the completion of filming by several months.
In addition to direct communication with Batmanthe plot of “Penguin” will be directly related to what happens in Batman 2. So it’s a must-watch for anyone who wants to fully understand what’s going on in Matt Reeves’ next film starring Robert Pattinson as Batman. Let us remind you that the specified feature film has been postponed to October 2, 2026, whereas it was originally supposed to be released on October 3, 2025.
