‘The Batman’: Josh Gad Reacts To Colin Farrell’s Penguin Talks

Josh Gad recently reacted to the news that Colin Farrell is in talks to play The Penguin in The Batman.

While many fans looked to Josh Gad as their pick for The Penguin in The Batman it’s clear Matt Reeves is going in a different direction after the recent news that Colin Farrell is in talks for the role. Josh Gad has repeatedly confirmed that he wasn’t going to play Penguin in The Batman, although he did continuously tease his interest in the character on Twitter several months ago. But now that Colin Farrell is in talks for the role, Josh Gad posted a tongue-in-cheek reaction to Twitter.

After the news broke that Colin Farrell is in talks for the role of Penguin opposite Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne in The Batman, Josh Gad posted a piece of fan art from BossLogic that depicts the Frozen star as Oswald Cobblepot. The actor jokingly posted “So… what’s new today?” since Colin Farrell’s involvement with The Batman came as a surprise to many fans. Take a look at Josh Gad’s reaction to the casting below.

Full plot details for The Batman are currently under wraps, though the film will center around a younger Bruce Wayne and feature a Rogues’ Gallery of villains that includes Catwoman, The Penguin, and The Riddler. The Matt Reeves film will follow Batman during his formative years as Gotham City’s protector and will make use of the Dark Knight’s detective skills to a greater extent than previous DC films. It is expected to be the first chapter in a new trilogy with Robert Pattinson as Batman.

Directed by Matt Reeves from a script he co-wrote with Mattson Tomlin, The Batman stars Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner James Gordon, and Paul Dano as the Riddler. Andy Serkis is in talks to play Alfred Pennyworth while Colin Farrell is being eyed for The Penguin.

The Batman arrives in theaters on June 25, 2021. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding Josh Gad, Colin Farrell and Batman’s future on the big screen.
