John Turturro Reveals Why Carmine Falcone Was Recast In The Penguin
Although Colin Farrell agreed to reprise his role as Oswald "Oz" Cobb in HBO's The Penguin, the series was forced to recast the part of the late crime boss Carmine Falcone, as played by John Turturro in The Batman. Now, Turturro has suggested that he turned down the chance to return over objections to violence against women in The Penguin.
"I did what I wanted to with the role," said Turturro during an interview with Variety. "In the show, there was a lot of violence towards women, and that's not my thing."
There was violence against women in The Batman as well, and Turturro's Falcone was personally responsible for the murder of Annika Kosolov (Hana Hrzic), the best friend of Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz). Falcone even chokes Selina onscreen during one of their scenes together.
