The first image and footage from Matt Reeves’ Batman spinoff Max series The Penguin has been released. Colin Farrell looks amazing in this role. The transformation is so good that I keep forgetting it’s actually Colin Farrell.
The Penguin delves into the criminal underworld of Gotham in the aftermath of Carmine Falcone’s death, with a power struggle at its center. “You ask yourself, what kind of life do I want?” says the Penguin in a voice-over. “The world isn’t built for guys like us; that’s why we have to take what’s ours.”
The new Max Original Series from Matt Reeves and the next chapter in The Batman saga is now in production. Coming in 2024 to Max.
Set in the same universe as Robert Pattinson’s The Batman, the limited series promises to offer a captivating look at Gotham’s criminal underworld. Other recent announcements for Max include True Detective: Night Country, Smartless: On The Road, and a forthcoming Harry Potter original series.
With the recent merger of Warner Bros. Discovery, there is significant potential for an influx of high-quality scripted content on the platform. As such, audiences can look forward to an exciting slate of shows in the near future.
