Colin Farrell Complained on ‘The Penguin’ Set ‘That I F—ing Want It to Be Finished,’ Said After Wrapping: ‘I Never Want to Put That F—ing Suit on Again’
Colin Farrell complained on the set of "The Penguin" because the suit to transform him into the Batman villain is exhausting.
Colin Farrell recently told Total Film magazine that he’s not sure about returning as Oswald Cobblepot for a potential second season of “ The Penguin ” given what a burden it is to emotionally and physically transform into the infamous Batman villain. I tried to remind them that I had ‘grumpy gratitude.’ I was still grateful, and still honored – I grew up watching Burgess Meredith [who played the role in the ’60s TV series], and then Danny DeVito [in Tim Burton’s 1992 film ‘Batman Returns’] was my Penguin – so being a part of the lineage of that storytelling, I really did feel privileged. “It’s not like I didn’t know who I was and I was going out and burning cars and shit, but… if you take what Matt Reeves created and then what Lauren [LeFranc, showrunner] did and what Mike [Marino, prosthetics and make-up designer] did and put them all together, it was a really powerful experience,” he continued.
