As we slowly inch toward the release of The Batman 2 in 2027<\/a>, more information is starting to come out about what we might be able to expect from the film. Most of what we\u2019re hearing is positive, like the casting of Scarlet Johansson and Sebastian Stan, who\u2019s in line to play Harvey Dent, better known as Two-Face. However, some rumors are leaving a lot to be desired from the Robert Pattinson-led film, like the fact that a few key players are seemingly missing from the movie altogether. And it\u2019s also looking a little grim for the second season of the film\u2019s spinoff show, The Penguin.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve known for a little while now that Colin Ferrell\u2019s Oswald Cobb won\u2019t be featured in any sort of main role in The Batman 2<\/a>. But now it\u2019s come out that Cristin Milioti, who plays the potentially psychotic Sofia Falcone, the daughter of crime boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), won\u2019t be in the film either<\/a>\u2014and she hasn\u2019t heard anything about the next season of The Penguin. Matt Reeves, the director of The Batman franchise, said when asked about why she wouldn\u2019t be making an appearance, \u201cCristin is not in this one [The Batman \u2013 Part II]. But that\u2019s because we were so deep into the script by the time we were in the show. But we\u2019ll see. I mean, I think she\u2019s incredible. What she did in the show is just astonishing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Milioti sat down with Deadline<\/a> alongside actor Topher Grace, where she was asked what she\u2019s heard about Season 2. \u201cThere\u2019s no official word on anything. And I would love nothing more, truly,\u201d she started. Grace cut in, saying, \u201cI would like to chime in on this and say, whoever is in charge of that decision, \u2018what are you doing?\u2019 This is the greatest thing I\u2019ve ever seen on TV. We gotta have a Season 2.\u201d The interviewer then asked about the film and whether or not Milioti was definitively not in it. She answered, \u201cDefinitely not in the film. Which is a bummer.\u201d Once more, Grace added, \u201cWhat are you doing? We\u2019re looking at one of the great performances of our time. Figure it out, guys.\u201d Speaking about The Penguin, Reeves said, \u201cAnd what [The Penguin showrunner] Lauren [LeFranc] did in creating that character. I mean, creating this version of the character. It\u2019s so special, so it\u2019d be really exciting to do something with her. But she\u2019s not in this one, in full disclosure, because we were so far along in the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Penguin, which is considered the direct sequel to The Batman, is holding an impressive 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. \u201cA grounded waddle into the supervillain realm, and boasting exceptional performances from Farrell and Milioti, this is comics-to-screen storytelling at its best,\u201d says Sarah Ward of Concrete Playground<\/a>. Jonathan Garcia of the Dynamic Duel Podcast <\/a>agrees, adding, \u201cOutstanding performances and an epic, brutal storyline make the limited series a crime thriller of the highest caliber and a masterpiece within the genre.\u201d<\/p>\n
