Pictures\u2019 blockbuster <em>The Batman<\/em>. It centers on the character played by Farrell in the film.<\/p>\n<p>The series is executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Farrell and Lauren LeFranc, who writes and serves as showrunner.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max, said: \u201cWe are thrilled to bring audiences a new version of this iconic DC character that they have never seen before. It is incredible to be working with Matt, Dylan and Lauren on continuing this story and to see Colin take his already exceptional performance in <em>The Batman<\/em>\u00a0to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reeves said: \u201cColin exploded off the screen as the Penguin in <em>The Batman<\/em>, and having the chance to thoroughly explore the inner life of that character on HBO Max is an absolute thrill. Dylan and I are so excited to work with Lauren in continuing Oz\u2019s story as he grabs violently for power in Gotham.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LeFranc commented: \u201cI have long been a fan of the world of <em>The Batman<\/em>, and Matt\u2019s film is such a powerful and bold entry into the canon. I am excited and humbled to continue telling stories in the grimy world of Gotham City\u2014and what better excuse to channel my inner villain than to tell the story of Oswald Cobblepot? I am thrilled to work with Colin, Matt, Dylan, 6th &amp; Idaho, Warner and HBO Max as we work to bring this story to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Farrell said: \u201cThe world that Matt Reeves created for <em>The Batman<\/em>\u00a0is one that warrants a deeper gaze through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot. I couldn\u2019t be more excited about continuing this exploration of Oz as he rises through the darkened ranks to become The Penguin. Will be good to get him back on the streets of Gotham for a little madness and a little mayhem.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO Max has given a straight-to-series order to The Penguin (working title), a limited series starring Colin Farrell in the title role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":16455,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[3213],"class_list":["post-16454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hbo-max","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
