Matt Reeves, the director of the upcoming Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, seemingly confirmed on Twitter that Colin Farrell will be playing Penguin in the upcoming film.
Reeves tweeted a gif of Farrell from the 2008 movie In Bruges with the caption, “Wait — is that you, #Oz?
” While there’s no mention of Penguin in the tweet, Oz can be read as a shortened version of Oswald, and Penguin’s non-criminal name just happens to be Oswald Cobblepot.
