Colin Farrell has revealed his reprisal of Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, will extend beyond a supporting role in “The Batman 2.” He confirmed a dedicated spin-off series focusing on the character is in development at HBO Max. Farrell stated he recently received a script and is preparing to begin filming in the coming months. The series will reportedly explore the Penguin’s rise within Gotham’s criminal underworld following the events of “The Batman.” Details regarding the plot and supporting cast remain scarce.

Discovery’s commitment to building a connected franchise.
