Cristin Milioti is teasing just how much she would like to work with Zoe Kravitz in a future Batman project.
At the end of The Penguin, Sofia Falcone (Milioti) received a letter in Arkham Asylum from her half-sister she was unaware even existed: Selina Kyle. Kyle was played by Kravitz in The Batman and is expected to appear again in the upcoming sequel. Milioti is hopeful the two characters may appear on screen together yet.
Milioti spoke with Deadline at the Independent Spirit awards and shared her hopes saying, "I would love that. I love her, and I think we could really get into some real s***." She went on to add, "I think we would have a great time."
Is she as eager to face the Batman himself, Robert Pattinson? "He’s one of our best actors. I would love [the opportunity]." In general, the actor wants to continue in the Batman Epic Crime Saga, saying the she feels Sofia needs to "come into her power and seek revenge."
There has been no word as of yet as to if and when we could see Sofia Falcone again. The Batman: Part II will be filming this year, but no mention has been made of Milioti joining the cast. And there is nothing official at the moment about a second season of The Penguin, although that is being discussed.
Dylan Clark, one of the executive producers on the series, told TV Line, "If we could come up with an idea for what a second season might be, there’s a chance that [HBO CEO] Casey Bloys and the HBO team would want to pursue that. There have been quiet conversations about that."
Showrunner Lauren LeFranc spoke with Screenrant recently that, "We were meant to be a limited series, so I'm really proud of the first season and the story that we made. There's more stories to tell there, for sure, if we can find the right idea or the right characters." She went on to add, "I'm not sure about that yet, but I'm really proud of the work that we've done."
Considering the critical and ratings hit the series was for HBO, a second season seems inevitable. With The Batman: Part II due to begin production in 2025, however, it feels as though it will be some time before Oz Cobb returns to our TV screens.
All of The Penguin season 1 is available on Max now.
