‘The Penguin’ Trailer: Colin Farrell Gets Fierce In ‘Batman’ Spinoff Series For Max; Fall Premiere Set

'The Penguin' Trailer Drops: Colin Farrell Ablaze In 'Batman' Max Series

Close to a year after a teaser was dropped for Matt Reeves’ The Batman spinoff series The Penguin for Max, we finally get the trailer and with a fall premiere date. Far from being portrayed as a comical oddball a la Danny DeVito’s take on the DC villain in the Tim Burton movies, here we savor Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb as a Tony Soprano-type, given his big philosophical proclamations and tall tales of yore. It’s clear, in a great nod, that this Penguin is paying absolute homage to HBO’s alpha-male multi-Emmy-winning mafia series.
