The Batman 2: Colin Farrell Reveals If He Would Return as the Penguin
Colin Farrell discusses if he would return for The Batman 2. Originally perceived as a solo vehicle for Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader, with the actor attached to write, direct, and produce, The Batman was ultimately reworked by Cloverfield director Matt Reeves who removed the movie's connections to the larger DCEU. Reeves rechristened the film into a genre-bending psychological superhero crime thriller, focusing on Batman's detective side and his early years of vigilantism in Gotham City. Twilight alum Robert Pattinson led Reeves' movie as Bruce Wayne, with Farrell, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, and Andy Serkis appearing in key roles.
After several delays posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, The Batman finally hit theatres in March 2022, becoming a quick hit among fans and audiences who praised its gritty cinematography, compelling performances, thoughtful exploration of societal inequity, and critical dissection of Batman's heroism. The movie also proved decidedly profitable, grossing over $770 million worldwide. Its success prompted WB and DC to greenlight a sequel, which was officially announced during April's CinemaCon. Pattinson and Reeves have signed to return for The Batman 2, although a similar commitment from the other actors is yet to be confirmed.
