Hollywood star Colin Farrell says while discussions are underway about a potential second season of "The Penguin", the spinoff to Matt Reeves` "The Batman", he personally remains cautiously doubtful about its chances. Farrell, who reprised his "The Batman" role of Oswald "Oz" Cobb in the HBO and DC Studios` 2024 series, said although the show was designed as a limited series, its critical success has sparked speculation about a continuation.

"Oh, I don`t know. I have a bit of a, generally speaking, I have a bit of a negativity bias. Apparently, I`ve been told by various people close to me. So I would say I would bet against, but not by much," the actor told entertainment news outlet ComicBook. The 49-year-old actor said that "the powers that be" have been exploring storylines that could justify another season. He also revealed that "The Penguin" ties directly into "The Batman Part II", which will see actor Robert Pattinson return as the iconic superhero Batman.
