Colin Farrell transforms into the Penguin once again in his own self-titled series as he tries to build a criminal empire in Gotham
The 48-year-old actor is virtually unrecognisable as Oz Cobb in the new HBO series and he praised the extensive work put in by his make-up artist Mike Marino, who spent three hours a day on the star's transformation having previously done the same when he first played the role in 2022's The Batman.
Of a scene that required him to be naked, he added: "Marino is so twisted and brilliant. He was like, 'I made you a penguin penis.'"

Set a week after the events of The Batman, The Penguin sees Colin's character aim to seize power in Gotham's criminal underworld and expand his business empire. The unpredictable Sofia Falcone, played by Cristin Milioti, returns to Gotham and wants to pick up the Falcone criminal empire and comes to odds with The Penguin.
