The Penguin actor Colin Farrell has revealed the surprisingly short timeframe between 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman and his character’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming HBO Max spin-off.

"It starts a week a🥃fter The Batman ends, so Gotham is still somewhat underwater," Farrell told , referring to The Batman’s third act that saw Pa♔ul Dano’s Riddler instigate a plan to flood Gotham.

Farrell even teased The Penguin’s first scene back – and it’s a fitting return for his character. "I read the first script for the first episode, and it opens up with my feet splashing through tꦏhe water in Falcone's office," Farrell said, also describing the script as "lovely" and "well-written."

He added that he is looking forward to doing more with the character after his turn in The Batman: "I ꩲlove that character and I was greedy with it. I felt like I didn't have enough," Farrell explained. "I wanted to do it more and more, so now I get the chance.”

The Penguin producer and The Batman ✃director Matt Reeves had previously expressed in a press release that the spin-off is a chance to "explore the inner life" of the mob boss as "he grabs violent🔴ly for power in Gotham."

Mare of Easttown and Westworld director Craig Zobel 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:will be behind the camera for The Peng🐲uin. Agents▨ of SHIELD’s Lauren LeFranc is serving as writer and showrunner, with Farrell saying she has done an "extraordinary job."
