Fans may be clamoring for, but a new update from Colin Farrell sheds some light onto the actor’s opinions on whether or not he’d want to return for a second season.
Speaking to Variety behind the scenes at the SAG Awards, Farrell said he is in no real rush to do a second season of the show, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t open to the idea. “I don’t want it.
I don’t not want it,” Farrell said. “We all left it in the ring in those eight hours. I would hate to, just because of a quote-unquote success, have to go again and for it to be a diluted version of what people seem to feel it is, majoritively.
So I’m in no rush. I have no deep desire to do it. … Sure, if they think of something that works in conjunction as a parallel to Matt Reeves’ cinematic universe and it’s a good idea, I’m open it.
But it’s not something concerning me.” Farrell’s comments echo those of filmmaker Matt Reeves, the director of The Batman and orchestrator of the ongoing universe that houses both Robert Pattinson’s Batman and Farrell’s Penguin, and DC Studios co-chiefs Peter Safran and James Gunn. “We don’t know. … There are a lot of moving pieces — probably most important Colin himself,” said Gunn in an interview with Variety this week.
