Colin Farrell said it will be nice to explore violence inBatmanSpinoffThe Penguin
Last year in 2022, Farrell discussed why having an R rating for the upcoming Batman spinoff would be a good idea. The 47-year-old actor discussed his character in the movieThe Batman.While talking about the spinoff, the Irish actor said that with the R-rated version, they will have a chance to explore the dark side. While talking about his character, theactor said,
“His ambition and his vulnerability, his humor. I mean it was just the tip of the iceberg in this film for me, but there were little moments in the scripts that Matt wrote, in relation to Oz, little bits of humor and awkwardness, as well. And his origin, you know why he is the man he is and all that stuff.
He further added,
If we get six to eight hours to do it, I just think the character could be endlessly fun and fascinating and brutal. I hear that we’re going to be allowed to kind of do an R-rated version, perhaps, which would be nice to explore the violence that could permit, perhaps, and the darkness that could allow us to explore. So, all of those things.”
