Colin Farrell Reminisces On Being A True Gangster In The First Trailer For THE PENGUIN

Colin Farrell Reminisces On Being A True Gangster In The First Trailer For THE PENGUIN

Max has just dropped our first look at Colin Farrell (In Bruges, The Banshees of Inisherin) as the infamous Batman foe, Oswald Cobblepot, in their trailer for THE PENGUIN. The show will reach screens in the Fall and, judging from the teaser, looks to be a dark gangster epic. They’ve certainly captured the look and feel of Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Only natural really since Reeeves produces the show alongside Farrell and showrunner, Lauren LeFranc (Impulse) who also writes the series. Craig Zobel, director of the much loved Max series, Mare of Easttown, will helm the first three episodes.

THE BATMAN Is Getting An HBO Max Spin-Off Series From Matt Reeves

HBO Max is readying yet another addition to the collection of spin-off shows in the Batman franchise. It doesn’t have a title yet, but Friday’s announcement from the streamer describes it as “an original DC drama set in the Gotham City police department”, set in the same universe as the upcoming film, The Batman, from director Matt Reeves.

THE BATMAN: The Batmobile Revealed!

Production on The Batman has so far seen director Matt Reeves flick little crumbs of goodies from the set of his new DC Comics-inspired flick. We have a camera test teasing the costume, as well as shots of actor Robert Pattinson on the snowy set with what looks to be the Batcycle, and now Reeves is touting his own presentation of the Batmobile, which looks like a steady and slick hybrid between the Lincoln-Futura and the other darker, grittier all-black models.

Ben Affleck’s Future Post-BATMAN In The Air: Could ‘Beyond’ Follow Suit?

Ben Affleck is still, albeit tentatively, set to star in War For The Planet Of The Apes helmer Matt Reeves’s currently developing trilogy starter, The Batman, as Warner Bros. continues plotting ahead with its expected production slate, including the forthcoming production of New Line Cinema’s Shazam. That being said, the future of Warner Bros. and its DC adaptations regarding all things Batman after this November’s release of Justice League is reportedly an unclear one.

As THR writes, Reeves and the studio both hope to keep the 45 year-old actor in the cape and cowl for as long as they can. However, it appears the studio is also working out its endgame for Affleck as production on The Batman approaches considering factors such as his age and physical upkeep. Warner Bros. is minding the issue from several angles like the importance for having younger stars much like the transition of Tom Holland this Summer in Spider-Man: Homecoming, for which its director is also in talks to return to helm.

The studio is now researching the source material to try and apply a respectable departure of Affleck from the role, sifting through several story arcs, one of which includes “Batman Beyond” for which its 1999 animated series centers on troubled teen Terry McGinnis and his transition to a futuristic iteration of the crimefighter with an aged Bruce Wayne guiding him. The report suggests fans won’t go for a Bruce Wayne-less Batman movie but I’m on social media a lot and anyone who has ever seen the Beyond costume in some conceptualized fashion has always ever expressed approval of seeing it in a film of some kind, so, I call BS.

With last year’s performance in the double-billed Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Affleck is the seventh actor to don the costume in some capacity since the 1966 debut of Adam West who passed away on June 9 this year at the age of 88. Reeves is currently working on a new script replacing Affleck’s own draft entirely.

The studio previously announced development of projects such as a Suicide Squad sequel in addition to Gotham City Sirens, Nightwing and Batgirl movies.

Exhibit The Legacy Behind WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES In The Latest Trailer

I have no question that in about ten years or sooner that Fox is just going to dip back more into the Apes saga to find something to play with. Maybe there is or maybe we’ll all be back to screaming for Hollywood to seugue into original material… Who knows? All I know is that Reeves appears to have done an ample job with this franchise, so one hopes this will break the chain of downward spiraling box office sequel returns currently suffered by Transformers: The Last Knight and Pirates Of The Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales… Ah well…come what may.
