Colin Farrell Open to ‘The Penguin’ Season 2: “Of Course I Would Do It”

Farrell also breaks down Oz Cobb's season finale choices, his method acting to stay in character and his 'The Batman Part II' future: 'I do believe I know him better than anyone now.'

“If there’s a great idea , and the writing was really muscular and as strong or stronger on the page than it was the first season, of course I would do it,” Farrell tells“For me, the bar for success is not very high. It’s, ‘Do most people like it?’ — just the simplicity of that. I love being in things that are critically approved — it’s much better than the alternative — but I’ve been around long enough that it’s the audience who are really the most important critics.

My hand was forced, in a way. If you put your hands over your face and push onto your face — that’s what it felt like all day. So I was constantly aware of that, and the only way to accept that awareness to the point where I became unaware was to do a version of staying in character. Talking in my own accent felt like a greater effort and artifice than to just , “Hey, how ya doing? Morning, good to see you.” That felt more natural, and I became very obsessed by the role. It was so dark.

Some writer took that out of its energetic context. I was bitching to anyone who’d listen to me. It’s the way I speak sometimes — “I can’t wait to finish this” — that kind of thing. I get anxious right now just thinking about sitting in the chair for hours. But I always loved the material, and it was never lost on me the privilege I felt to inhabit a character that’s lived so long in comic book form originally and then through various iterations on TV and in film.
