The Penguin Season 2 Spoilers – Colin Farrell Has Spoken About This Before
Farrell has talked about no longer playing the DC villain in a possible Season 2 of The Penguin (or The Batman Part II) in the past.
Still, it looks like he has had a change of heart. The actor recently stated he would only think about coming back if Season 2’s story surpassed Season 1.
This choice may have been influenced by the positive review the HBO series is getting. Currently, The Penguin holds a “Tomatometer” rating of 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Via THR, Farrell states, “If there’s a great idea [for season two], and the writing was really muscular and as strong or stronger on the page than it was the first season, of course, I would do it. For me, the bar for success is not very high. It’s, ‘Do most people like it?’ — just the simplicity of that. I love being in things that are critically approved — it’s much better than the alternative — but I’ve been around long enough [to know] that it’s the audience who are really the most important critics.”
