Colin Farrell confirmed that he will have a reduced role in The Batman: Part 2. In an interview on the program This Morning , the actor revealed that his character, Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, will appear in only two scenes of the sequel directed by Matt Reeves. "That's it. I'm in and out... It was quite interesting to do," Farrell commented when talking about his participation in the film.
Despite his limited presence, the character's return maintains a connection to the events of The Batman (2022), in which Farrell played the criminal trying to gain a foothold in Gotham City's underworld. The actor also starred in the Penguin series, a spin-off of the film, which follows Cobblepot's rise in the world of organized crime.
