Dark and gritty The Penguin trailer debuts at San Diego Comic-Con
Colin Ferrell stars as Batman villain Oswald Cobblepot in HBO’s new series, The Penguin.
The merging of Warner Bros. and Discovery effectively put an end to one DC Extended Universe era while placing the fate of several planned projects in limbo. Chief among those was a sequel to 2022’s The Batman and an associated spinoff series, The Penguin. Both projects have survived the merger, and DC Studio unveiled the first full trailer for The Penguin—starring Colin Farrell reprising his The Batman role of Oswald Cobblepot—during its panel at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend.
The panel also included a first look and a screening of the first episode of Prime Video’s new animated series Batman: Caped Crusader, with Minnie Driver voicing a gender-swapped version of the Penguin named Oswalda Cobblepot. The official trailer dropped last month.
