>”The Penguin” series at HBO Max has added Michael Zegen, James Madio, and Scott Cohen to its cast in recurring roles, Variety has learned exclusively.

>The three join a cast that includes series lead Colin Farrell, who will reprise the role of Oswald “The Penguin” Cobblepot from “The Batman, as well as Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, and Clancy Brown.

>HBO Max is not releasing character details for three new additions, but sources say that Zegen is set to play Alberto Falcone.

>Alberto is the son of Gotham City crime boss Carmine Falcone, who was played by John Turturro in “The Batman,” and the brother of Sofia Falcone, who will be played by Milioti in “The Penguin.” In the comics, Alberto takes credit for being the serial killer known as The Holiday Killer, who targets Gotham gangsters on a holiday each month.

What a sausage fest

I don't understand why I would want to watch a villian's tv series. After all, no matter what he achieves, he's just going to get beaten by the Batman at some point, making the series kinda pointless, right?

This is the exact reason Joker flopped at the box office and nobody watched Loki

The villain takes on Gotham were the reason I watched that series. I liked Ben McKenzie quite a bit, but the villains were why I watched.

I literally said that in my head as soon as I read the headline 💀

Can they cast at least one Latino

is the show lesser for not having a member of each ethnic group from the world?

One of the main roles is actually latino though.Rhenzy Feliz(apparently a lead character too, will be interesting to see what his role is)

Well if Gotham is in the United States, then I’d hope there would be more than one Latino.

Latinos are 19 percent of the population.

Does that feel like what movies and tv portray?

It’s important. Our shared culture as Americans is this art, yes including superhero spin off shows, and it feels like Latinos are left out.

Why would you ever watch a movie about Batman? You already know that no matter what the bad guys have in store for him, he is going to win and defeat the villains because he’s the hero. It makes the movie kinda pointless right?

You’re finally him. You’re the person. Everybody wonders who cares who plays what I’m shows. I’ve never met a person who ACTUALLY gave one half of a tenth of a single fuck. Like I just want the best actors playing the part. I’m very supportive of diversity but anything being shoehorned in just diminishes the product.

As if friends of producers or casting directors aren’t “shoehorned” in

I bet this would be a huge problem if white males were in movies less

Why do y’all do this? What does one Latino add to the show. There’s already one Latino an Afro Latino in the cast. But u wouldn’t know that because you really don’t give a shit about the show not just bs representation

He was obviously being sarcastic...

Ah. Im in a mood today and missed it.

???

I care about it cause our movies don’t look like our people.

It’s Private Perconte from Band of Brothers!

“All of Germany, and I haven’t met one Nazi yet.”

Yep. You have a good handle on Penguin when he's done right.
Plus, I'll add, the general theme of Batman's early years is things just escalating and getting worse. Batman is gonna take a lot of wins but there are gonna be a lot of tradeoffs in the process that aren't necessarily beneficial for the city. The mob will fall but at least they had order. Penguin likes order and is one foot in the old mob way of things and one foot, reluctantly, in with the freaks.

I believe he was also a lost boy in Hook
