It’s not daring to say that Colin Farrell is a gorgeous man (have a look at him in Fright Night time or Miami Vice or Alexander), however it’s daring to say that Colin Farrell as The Penguin in 2022’s The Batman is engaging. He’s coated in prosthetics, is shedding his hair, and has an total skeezy vibe that makes it powerful to recall Farrell’s pure sexiness. However newly launched set images from the upcoming HBO Max collection The Penguin reveals a brand new search for Oswald Cobblepot, and it’s molto, molto bene. That is Italian-coded sexiness (Cobblepot is, I imagine, of Austrian/Hungarian descent, so he’s not really Italian). This isn’t daddy, that is papa.
Certain, the hair is holding on for pricey life, and the prosthetics are nonetheless attempting to make Farrell look decidedly extra penguin-y, nevertheless it’s a far cry from The Penguin’s seems in The Batman, which had been all fits and trench coats. This match is giving early seasons of the Sopranos Tony Soprano. It’s giving man who owns the oldest Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, they usually don’t do none of that fettucine alfredo bullshit right here, capisce?
Within the footage, Penguin’s refined v-neck tee stretches throughout his ample bosom and little curlicues of his chest hair peek out over the neckline like they’re saying “Ciao bella” to any passerby. A fundamental however costly leather-based jacket he clearly obtained tailor-made coupled with the bling on his center finger inform me just a few issues: He has cash, he understands the significance of well-fitting apparel, and most significantly, he’s not married.
I can scent the Acqua di Parma. I can hear the nasality in his voice as he calls me “sweethaht.” I can really feel the inconceivable smoothness of his fingers. This man will get a manicure each week and graciously suggestions the nail tech. This man chews on a cigar with the anger of a number of generations of blue-collar Italian males coursing by way of his veins. This man has open-hand slapped one other man for speaking again and known as him a bastardo as he does it.

This man would come as much as me as I’m consuming a plate of cacio e pepe over a starchy white tablecloth at his restaurant and ask if he can purchase me a drink, and I’d say, “sure, please, I’d like an Aperol Spritz” from beneath heavy lids. This man would shout an appreciative madone at my outfit once I seem on the door of his Cadillac CT5 for our date night time. He’d drive two blocks to dinner, singing Louis Prima your entire manner, and demand upon dropping me off on the door regardless that there’s a spot just a few ft away. He’d kiss my mom’s fingers and name her una bella donna each time he sees her. This man is my husband.
The Penguin restricted collection, which reportedly takes place proper after the occasions of The Batman, doesn’t have a set launch date but (it’s anticipated someday in 2024). Based on Selection, the eight-episode collection may also star Cristin Milioti (Palm Springs), Rhenzy Feliz (Encanto), Michael Kelly (Jack Ryan), Shohreh Aghdashloo (The Expanse), and Clancy Brown (Highlander) as crime boss Salvatore Maroni.
Till we get much more photos of this Italian pinguino, you may catch me daydreaming about changing into Oz Cobblebot’s principessa.
