Colin Farrell Talks 'The Batman'; Says He Can't Wait To Get Back To Filming After The Set Opens Back Up

Colin Farrell is talking all about his excitement of being part of Matt Reeves‘ The Batman in a new interview.

The 43-year-old seasoned actor plays The Penguin in the movie, opposite Robert Pattinson, Andy Serkis and Zoe Kravitz.

“It’s all exciting,” he says of being part of the movie. “To be a part of that universe and just there are certain words that are part of my internal lexicon: Gotham City, Penguin, Joker, Batman, Bruce Wayne, Harvey Dent, all these things.”

Colin shared that his admiration of the hero started with Adam West.

“Batman as a kid, yes very much, not in comic book form but the TV show I watched ardently when I was a child, and then in my teens I saw [Tim] Burton’s version and loved it,” he recalled before adding that he “was a huge fan of what Chris Nolan did with that world and how he brought it back to life and gave it an immediacy and a contemporary significance.”

Colin adds about his role in the new film has “been fun and I really am so excited to get back and explore it. I haven’t got that much to do. I have a certain amount in the film. I am not all over it by any means, but there are a couple of some tasty scenes I have in it and my creation and I can’t wait to get back.”

“It feels original and fun,” he shared of the movie. “But I am only at the start of the journey so I can’t wait to get back and really get into it.”

Earlier this month, Colin was spotted taking a shirtless run in Los Angeles. See the pics here!
