Matt Reeves on casting Cristin Milioti in The Batman 2
On the red carpet at the Emmys 2025, Reeves explained to MTV, "Cristin's not in this one. But that's because we were so deep into the script by the time we were in the show, so. But we'll see. I mean, I think she's incredible. What she did in the show is just astonishing. And what Lauren [LeFranc, showrunner] did in creating that character – I mean, creating this version of the character – is so special."He added, "So, it'd be really exciting to do something with her. But, she's not in this one, in full disclosure, just because we were so far along in the story that it was like, 'Oh gee, we could,' it might upset the applecart, let's say, given where the story goes, and what we were exploring. There are some things where it's like, 'Oh, we'd love to do this,' but actually, that doesn't fit within where the story goes."The Penguin Season 2 in works
The Penguin was nominated for 24 Emmy nominations and took home nine wins, including Milioti in the acting category. The show was entered in the limited series category, but the team at DC Studios and HBO are planning another season. Reeves, who is an executive producer and a writing supervisor on the show, told Variety, "We’re in discussions. [Showrunner] Lauren [Lefranc] is thinking hard and we’re talking, so we’ll see. We love the show, and we think our cast is so incredible. The work that Lauren and the writers did was incredible. Our passion was in it, but never in our wildest dreams could we imagine it would have been received in the way that it was."Do you find this article useful?
