From melting makeup to filming in freezing temperatures, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti talk about how they got into character during the production of ‘The Penguin.’ Colin Farrell fought hard to get his version of the Penguin to smoke tobacco in The Batman (2022), but failed. However, for his own series, the character is described as a casual smoker with a preference for cigars..

But after episode 1 I will confirm that this show is amazing (so far)

I thought Colin Farrell was great as the Penguin in Batman, but I’ve never understood taking a lanky, fit actor and putting him in massive prosthetics and a fat suit… especially when I think look like other famous actors who would also be just as good. Also, I really didn’t understand why this spin-off was coming, and to be honest, I’m sick of Batman reboots.

But I didn’t expect to like it so much

I watched it only knowing that it was necessary to watch the bridge between the first and second films and my surprising enjoyment of Farrell in the role from the first. The acting is great, the writing is superb, and it surprised me with some quick twists. The biggest thing I liked was the fact that there was a lot more color in this than in Batman.

I hope this continues to be as good as it goes, because I really can’t wait until the next episode

I noticed it almost immediately because it was a huge complaint of mine about the movie (it felt like I was watching it through a Zack Snyder lens).
