Colin Farrell Says The Batman: Part II Picks Up Weeks After The Penguin, Season 2 Unlikely

Farrell also signals a reduced Penguin role in the film as production targets spring for an October 1, 2027 theatrical release.

Overview

  • Farrell confirms he will reprise Oz Cobb in Matt Reeves’ sequel and says he is eager to reunite with Robert Pattinson and Jeffrey Wright.
  • The sequel’s story begins only a few weeks after HBO’s The Penguin, keeping the timeline tightly connected to the earlier events.
  • Asked about a follow-up to the Emmy-recognized limited series, Farrell said he would “bet against” a second season, though creators have discussed possible storylines.
  • The Penguin drew broad acclaim and industry recognition, including 24 Emmy nominations with multiple wins highlighted in coverage.
  • Cristin Milioti’s Sofia does not return in Part II, a decision Reeves has attributed to timing in the parallel development of the series and sequel.
