Oz Cobb is taking on Gotham’s underworld in the brand new limited series, The Penguin.

Based on the DC Comics, The Penguin is a spin-off from the 2022 movie The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson as the iconic billionaire vigilante superhero who wants to bring peace and justice to his city.

But every superhero needs a supervillain – and in Gotham City, there are more than enough criminal masterminds ready to keep him busy.

Among them is Oz, or ‘The Penguin,’ who has aspirations of being the number one crime lord in the city. After the death of Mario Falcone, he thinks he finally has his shot.

In this eight-part limited series, we follow Oz as he makes moves and hustles to get to the top, as well as the crime bosses and gang leaders who stand in his way.

Here are the key characters in the series, and who will be playing them.

Played by: Colin Farrell

Oz Cobb earned his nickname The Penguin due to his portly stature, waddle, and pointed facial features.

A drug lord, he hides his criminal activity behind his legitimate business, The Iceberg Lounge nightclub. While he has henchmen to do his bidding, he is unafraid to get his hands dirty himself if needs be.

Smart and calculated, Oz is a formidable force in the underworld.

Colin Farrell is an award-winning Irish actor, best known for his action and dramatic roles including In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths, Phone Booth, and The Banshees of Inisherin.
