Batman filmmaker Matt Reeves took to social media on Monday to officially announce that Farrell was cast as Oswald Cobblepot, better known as Penguin, in the forthcoming superhero movie.

Reeves captioned a gif image of Farrell with: “Wait — is that you, #Oz?” with Oz being a nickname for Oswald, the Penguin’s given name.

The Batman stars Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, in addition to Paul Dano as the Riddler, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, and Peter Sarsgaard in a still unconfirmed role. 

It was first rumored in November that Farrell could be set to star as the umbrella-wielding, suit-wearing antagonist after it was confirmed that Jonah Hill exited the project. 

The Batman debuts on June 25th, 2021.

The Lobster and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actor is currently in negotiations with Warner Bros to play The Penguin in The Batman Movie, which will be directed by Matt Reeves.

Reeves told Hollywood Reporter, “What’s exciting about Batman is how it relates to now and also how personal it can be. It’s very much a point-of-view-driven, noir Batman tale. It’s told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it’s going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional.”

If Farrell commits to the film he will join Rob Pattinson’s Caped Crusader, Paul Dano’s The Riddler, and Zoe Kravit’s Catwoman. Farrell has played a superhero villain before in 2003’s Daredevil which also starred Ben Affleck.

The Penguin was previously played by Danny Devito in Batman Returns, which came out in 1992.

The Batman is set to be released on June 25, 2021.
