Colin Farrell Gains Weight for New Batman: The Penguin

Not long ago, the director of the new "Batman" officially announced that Colin Farrell will play the classic villain "Penguin" in the series. Recently, Colin Farrell began to gain weight for this classic villain role. Recently, photos of Colin Farrell gaining weight for the role of "Penguin" were released online, but it seems that he has not gained weight to the full extent. After completing the weight gain, he may be able to fully show the bloated image of "Penguin".

The cast of the new version of "Batman" currently includes: Robert Pattinson as Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as Sheriff Gordon, Andy Serkis as butler Alfred Pennyworth, Colin Farrell as the Penguin, John Turturro as Gotham gang leader Carmine Falcone, and Peter Sarsgaard (role unknown).

According to the plan, the new Batman will focus on Bruce Wayne's youth and tell the story of the Dark Knight and his "Villain Gallery". If nothing unexpected happens, this will be a detective film. Previously, director Matt Reeves revealed that the film is not adapted from Frank Miller's comic Batman: Year One, although this comic returns the Batman series to its dark nature and has a significant impact on Nolan's Batman trilogy. But director Reeves said that the new Batman will not tell the "origin story".

DC's new "Batman" independent film will be released in North America in June 2021.
