Danny DeVito Talks Colin Farrell As The PENGUIN in 'The Batman' - And Says He's Open To Play Villain Again!

Let the rumor mill begin! That’s right folks, you read that headline right!

Danny DeVito has said he approves of Colin Farrell as The Penguin – and said he'd like to return as the character.

"I love Colin Farrell. He's one of my favorite actors. I can't wait!" DeVito told Forbes. An unrecognizable Farrell will play the role in Matt Reeves' The Batman, which is due out next year. DeVito, meanwhile, played Penguin in Tim Burton's Batman Returns, released in 1992.

As for whether his incarnation of Oswald Cobblepot could return, DeVito was optimistic. "I feel like it's not out of the question that The Penguin will return someday, but this is all up to Tim, whether or not Tim wants to do this," he said. "I would say that could be in the cards because we ain't dead yet [laughs]. We could do a continuation of what we had in the past because that was truly a brilliant movie. They afforded me that opportunity and I feel very grateful and would I like to revisit it? Why not! It was a really great moment in time for me.”

The Batman arrives March 4, 2022.
