Matt Reeves Interview: The Penguin, The Batman 2, and the Future of Batman: Caped Crusader
169Director Matt Reeves has become one of the most sought-after cinematic creators of the past two decades. Reeves updated the found footage genre for our post-9/11 world, bringing immense scale and even larger imagination. He continued the Planet of the Apes Caesar Trilogy, making Caesar and Koba as dimensional and full of character as any evolved ape has ever been on-screen. It's not shocking that his take on Gotham in The Batman is one of audiences' favorites. His hard-nosed, gritty, noir style captured the hearts of fans around the world. Now, Reeves is unleashing the next chapter of his self-proclaimed "Batman Epic Crime Saga" in the form of the HBO limited series, The Penguin.
Following the events of The Batman, Oswald Cobb — a.k.a. The Penguin, played by Colin Farrell, makes a play to seize the reins of the crime world in Gotham. Seeing a clear power void, this limited series shows Oswald's evolution from mid-level gangster to city kingpin. The Penguin also stars Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Carmen Ejogo, Mark Strong, and Michael Kelly.
Collider's own Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to speak with Reeves and delve deep into his Batman lore. In this exclusive interview, which you can check out in the video above or in the transcript below, Reeves answers tons of questions about The Batman sequels, spin-offs, Prime Video's Batman: Caped Crusader, as well as discusses the classic films and creative co-workers that inspired the DNA of The Batman.
