Penguins Unite! Colin Farrell and Danny DeVito on Lusting After Catwoman, Staying Sober and How ‘It’s Always Sunny’ Is Like ‘I Love Lucy’ on Acid
Colin Farrell and Danny DeVito talk about their shared history playing Batman villain The Penguin.
Danny DeVito and Colin Farrell, who’ve known each other for decades, have both had the experience of being buried under prosthetics in order to play Batman’s nihilistic antagonist — the Penguin. DeVito played the role of Oswald Cobblepot in Tim Burton’s Grand Guignol 1992 film “Batman Returns”; “In Bruges” star Farrell played a grittier version, Oz Cobb, in Matt Reeves’ 2022 film “The Batman” and in this season’s TV spinoff “The Penguin.” Though he hasn’t come back to the part in years, DeVito remains no stranger to shameless amorality: He’s soon to appear as the lewd, delirious Frank in the 17th season of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” DeVito: I would be very content staying in my sewer as long as I could get Catwoman to visit me every once in a while: Be still my beating Penguin heart.
