PENNYWORTH Unveils First Official Look At RIPPER Actor Jack Bannon As The Young Alfred
We recently found out that Pennyworth has been given a June premiere date, and now Epix has released our first official look at British actor Jack Bannon (The Imitation Game, Ripper) as the young Alfred...
Epix has revealed the first official promo still for Pennyworth, giving us a look at Jack Bannon (Ripper, The Imitation Game, Endeavor) as the younger incarnation of the man who will one day become Batman's most trusted ally.
Described as "honest, open-faced and witty; you’d never take him for an SAS killer. Alfred doesn’t know how to reconcile the kind-hearted boy he used to be with the cold, calculated killer he was forced to become."
It's safe to say this will be a very different take on the classic DC Comics character than we're used to seeing.
We still don't know a whole lot about this R-rated origin story, but it has been confirmed that Alfred will team-up with Thomas Wayne to form a security company in 1960s London. No established Batman baddies will appear, but the show is expected to feature "archetypal villains and classic villains of British literature."
