Upcoming HBO max series The Penguin has added some new cast members to it’s line-up. The show, which acts as a spin-off to The Batman, will feature Michael Zegen, James Madio, and Scott Cohen in recurring roles.
Per Variety, it’s not yet clear which characters they will be playing but Zegen has been linked to the role of Alberto Falcone. He’s the son of Gotham crime boss Carmine Falcone (John Tuturro in The Batman) and is the brother of Sofia Falcone, who will be played by Cristin Milioti in the show.
The series is expected to pick up after the events of The Batman and focus on Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobblepot, or The Penguin as he’s also known. Other confirmed cast members for the HBO series include Clancy Brown, Michael Kelly, Rhenzy Feliz, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Deirdre O’Connell.
Gunn replied to the tweet stating: "This is not true". Then in a follow-up tweet, he clarified he meant: "The rights issue is not true", rather than addressing anything to do with Pattinson’s potential involvement in the spin-off. Filming is currently taking place on The Penguin but no release date has been confirmed.
