For a while now, Mark Strong has been listed as part of the cast of THE PENGUIN.  Furthermore, it was said he was playing Carmine Falcone.  That seemed odd because Strong is basically the same age as John Turturro who portrayed the mafia kingpin in THE BATMAN.  But now his role has been revealed via the series’ official social media and Mark Strong is confirmed to be playing…Carmine Falcone.

What?!  Check it out below…

Strong looks much younger than John Turturro (via movie magic), so he’ll likely appear as Carmine Falcone in flashbacks I’m assuming.  I’m also going to guess that Turturro was unavailable to reprise the role for THE PENGUIN, so Strong stepped in.

We’ll see soon enough how Strong’s Carmine Falcone is used in the series as THE PENGUIN debuts on Thursday, September 19, 2024! – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
