Gotham’s Biggest Gangster is ready to make his debut. On Friday, Max debuted the latest teaser for The Penguin, the next spinoff series starring Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, aka Oswald Cobblepot.
In the new teaser, Farrell, who stars in the title role, recalls his childhood in a classic gangster monologue, while images of violence and gunfights in Gotham City’s seedy underworld escalate along with his story.
“When I was a kid, there was a gangster, a real old school type. Rex Calabrese. He was a big deal. He helped people. He’d see you on the street, he’d call out to you,” Cobblepot narrates in the video. “When I was 14 or something, he had a heart attack and died, still holding a cigar. In my neighborhood, they held a parade in his honor. a show of love, of what he meant. Can you imagine being remembered like that?”
The tense teaser provides brief flashes of the stars joining Farrell in the DC series, including Cristin Milioti as Carmine Falcone’s daughter Sofia, Michael Zegen as Carmine’s son Alberto, and Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni, one of Gotham’s former top gangsters. The rest of the cast is made up of Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Carmen Ejogo, François Chau and David H. Holmes.
Watch the full teaser below.
From Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios, The Penguin continues the epic crime saga that Matt Reeves began in 2022 with the release of Robert Pattinsonin Batman. The eight-episode series centers on the character Farrell played in the critically acclaimed film.
When ET spoke with Farrell last year, the actor spoke about his huge transformation for the film.
“It was so fun to inhabit. I was allowed to just explore and create and use my imagination,” Farrell said of her prosthetics-heavy role. “It was one of the most fun shows I’ve ever had.”
The Penguin will debut at the Max this fall.
