THE PENGUIN And Sofia Falcone Plot Their Takeover In New Episode 3 Stills

Episode 3 of The Penguin premieres later tonight, and HBO has now released some new promo stills spotlighting Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell) and Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) as they lay their plans to establish themselves as Gotham's new crime bosses.

Last week's episode, "Inside Man," saw Oz and Sofia partner up, as "The Hangman" came to realize that she will never be taken seriously by the men who currently call the shots in her late father's organization.

Of course, Oz is also playing his new ally - and we're pretty sure she knows it - so it'll be interesting to see how long they'll be able to co-exist for without turning on each other.

The Penguin has been a big hit with fans, with the series premiere reaching 10.4 million viewers after 11 days, taking The Batman spin-off above all current HBO series except for House of the Dragon and The Last of Us. The second episode attracted 1.6 million viewers - a 17% increase from the premiere.

Check out the new stills at the link below, along with some concept art of Oz in his purple (sorry, plum) suit.

What do you make of The Penguin so far? Let us know in the comments section.

The Penguin also stars Rhenzy Feliz (Victor Aguilar), Michael Kelly (Johnny Viti), Shohreh Aghdashloo (Nadia Maroni), Deirdre O’Connell (Francis Cobb), Clancy Brown (Salvatore Maroni), James Madio (Milos Grapa), Scott Cohen (Luca Falcone), Michael Zegen (Alberto Falcone), Carmen Ejogo (Eve Karlo), and Theo Rossi (Dr. Julian Rush).

The eight-episode DC Studios drama series continues The Batman epic crime saga that filmmaker Matt Reeves began with Warner Bros. Pictures’ global blockbuster The Batman, and centers on the character played by Farrell in the film.

The series is executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, Lauren LeFranc, who writes and serves as showrunner, Craig Zobel, who directs the first three episodes, and Bill Carraro. Based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, the show is produced by Reeves’ 6th & Idaho Productions and Dylan Clark Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Reeves and 6th & Idaho are under an overall deal. Daniel Pipski also serves as executive producer.

I think it’s funny that Penguin found himself a Robin-like sidekick.

@SuperJefe - yeah , the way he even met him was so Jason Todd

I like that he has this protege since it allows us to get more insight into him as a character

He probably seems a bit of himself in Victor especially since they both have disabilities in their own ways.

@TheVisionary25 - I dont think victor makes it out of this show. Penguin gonna need his villain cartharsis. Or maybe victor turns on penguin and runs.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/6/2024, 9:29 AM
@ThePenguin - I could see either happening

Either Victor is killed or Penguin frames him to take the fall for a crime

@ThePenguin - Victor's demise will probably be a big breaking point for Oz

@TheVisionary25 - Some people are saying Penguin takes the name cobblepot and turns on all his poor members. Maybe even takes english accent. I know it sounds kinda silly, but be cool idea imo.

@ItsNotForMeWahh - Fair enough fair enough
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/6/2024, 9:35 AM
@ThePenguin - I don’t see that happening but maybe

Maybe his original family name was Cobblepot and he goes back to it as he gets higher in status & power

@TheVisionary25 - I think he might just get a lot of money and changes his name to cobblepot, and pretends he was always high money. I dont think it will happen but I like the idea of it. Plus be funny him struggling with english accent and going back to his gangster accent lol

@ThePenguin - That doesn't fit with the show Reeves is making.

Remember, this isn't the comic book. This isn't the Arkham series of video games. This isn't the Animated Series.

It's a different world.

@HistoryofMatt - Its a world based off the comics, and he's already pretty comic accurate. And fyi a gangster getting enough money to change his name, isnt really farfetched.
HistoryofMatt
HistoryofMatt - 10/6/2024, 1:45 PM
@ThePenguin - If you're expecting him to start affecting an English accent, you're gonna be disappointed.

Mastero - 10/6/2024, 1:55 PM
@HistoryofMatt - Eh again not that comicbooky. Im not really expecting him too, just be cool imo.

@ThePenguin - I liked John Tuturros soft spoken genteel yet still menacing version of the character.

We still have to get to see Mark Strong in the role but I hope it’s consistent with the formers performance (sucks they had to recast due to scheduling but oh well).

@TheVisionary25 - I quite like John Tuturro as his own criminal. He just never felt like falcone you know? However he was great. Mark Strong though, I think will be perfect. I can see him in his pajamas talking to batman on the balcony as his family torn apart. Man id love a long halloween tv show
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/6/2024, 9:48 AM
@ThePenguin - fair enough

As he was written and directed as that version , I thought Turturro did well in the role

@TheVisionary25 - He did great. I admit I kinda headcanon them as their own crime family, but eh getting hard to now lol. Its interesting they are all dying, I wonder who reeeves will replace them with. Black mask maybe?

TheVisionary25 - 10/6/2024, 9:51 AM
@ThePenguin - that could be cool!!

I feel he would fit in this universe well.

@TheVisionary25 - Yeah. They could use rupert thorne too if clayface rumor is true. Though im hoping for freeze.

Is it as good as the Acolyte, though? Really?

I haven't seen one Space Lesbian in any of the trailers or promo materials.

@Batmangina - Why you gotta talk about another show man. Just discuss the show in question
Batmangina

@ThePenguin - Obviously, ThePenguin is going to want to talk about ThePenguin - I doubt your objectivity, sir.

I know Sofia is a twisted serial killer, but Milioti is so good on the role that I'm kinda rooting for her... even more than Oz.

This show is awesome! Matt Reeves is the only person at DC who has earned the faith of the audience. All of the Batman villains he has introduced rank up there with Nolan's villains as the best of all of the ones that have appeared in films or televisions.

Not only is The Penguin a great "comic book" television show.

It's the best show on television. Period.

Contrast that with all the Woke garbage Disney has made, and what the Trump-deranged Eric Kripke was allowed to turn The Boys into over on Amazon.

Amazing what happens when your only goal is to entertain.

@HistoryofMatt - what about Superman and Lois?
HistoryofMatt
HistoryofMatt - 10/6/2024, 1:24 PM
@Arthorious - Superman and Lois has been extremely good. I would say, subjectively, it has been one of my favorite shows the last couple of years.

However, objectively, The Penguin is a great show. The best show. It also happens to be a favorite.
Arthorious
Arthorious - 10/6/2024, 1:44 PM
@HistoryofMatt - dang I gotta check out the Penguin for sure. I guess the idea has turned me off, another Batman property without Batman, but the feedback has been overwhelming positive so I need to check it out.
