Behind-the-scenes photos from the set of HBO Max’s “The Batman” spin-off series “The Penguin” have popped up online and showcase a first look at Cristin Milioti in an all-white costume as Carmine Falcone’s daughter Sofia Falcone.
Also seen is Colin Farrell once again under pounds of make-up as Oswald Cobblepot who can be seen in his full look here along with driving a purple sports car. Combined with his purple suit jacket the other day, the character’s affinity for that color is on full display.
The eight-episode series takes place shortly after the events of “The Batman”. Filming on the series began this week in New York and will run through the next few months, wrapping a while before shooting begins on “The Batman” sequel in November.
Taking place within days to weeks after the first film’s end with the death of Carmine Falcone (Jon Turturro) and parts of Gotham City still somewhat flooded. A fight for control of Gotham’s underworld is underway as The Penguin, Sofia, and arrested mob boss Salvatore Maroni (Clancy Brown) battle for control.
Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Deirdre O’Connell co-star in the project with Craig Zobel (“Mare of Easttown”) directing the first two episodes and executive producing.
Whether Robert Pattinson will make an appearance as Bruce Wayne/Batman isn’t clear. Lauren LeFranc is penning the series and will serve as showrunner. Farrell, LeFranc, Dylan Clark, Matt Reeves, Daniel Pipski, Adam Kassanand, and Rafi Crohn executive produce.
