If anyone still had doubts or did not know who could embody the role of The Penguin in the new Batman movie, you can rest easy because the director himself has confirmed it: it will be Colin Farrell Who will play the character?
Colin Farrell will be The Penguin
At present it is very difficult to keep the filming of certain films a secret. Unless you do it in closed studios, it is impossible to prevent any photo or image from reaching specialized media wishing to publish related information or simply any current social network. And even so, not even recording on set can avoid leaks.
Some images recently surfaced of an actor carrying an umbrella and looking reminiscent of actor Colin Farrell. At that moment, speculations and debates began about whether or not he was, if he would be the one to embody the role of Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, better known as The Penguin within the DC universe and one of most popular batman villains.
Now, Matt Reeves, direct from the new movie 'The Batman' publishes this message on Twitter with which we can say yes, that Colin Farrell will be the one to give life to one of the most popular villains Gotham.

Colin Farrell has recently been seen playing roles in fictional films such as Fantastic Beasts and the truth is that he did not do badly at all, although many will continue to have in mind that role that he played at the beginning of his career in the film Last Call.
Along with the actor will be the others that we already knew would be in the new Batman movie: Robert Pattinson as Batman, Paul Dano as Enigma, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Andy Serkis as Alfred and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon. .
What now remains to be known is what the plot of the film will be. Something that for now will have to wait. Even so, there are already those who are considering the possibility that The Long Halloween is the story that adapts.
El long halloween (available on amazon) is for some one of the best dark knight comics. It is set in the early years of the Batman and along with the main plot, which is to discover a mysterious murderer, it also shows the evolution of many of the dangerous thugs and gangsters that fill Gotham. Thus, these become the super villains that many of us know later, with their costumes and the role they play within the batman universe.
Therefore, Arkham asylum may also play an important role in the film. In one way or another and whatever happens next at the plot level, the criticisms about what could or could not be the next Batman movie seem to be clearing up. We will have to wait to see and assess the final result, but it doesn't look bad at all and the choice of actors seems more than correct. Although some continue to see Robert Pattinson as inadequate in the role of the main character. It may be, because there have been many actors who played batman and some very well.
