The Penguins Craig Zobel Addresses Oz Cobb Name Change & Court of Owls
The character played by Colin Farrell in “The Penguin” goes by a shorter version of his name, Oz, rather than Oswald Cobblepot. Director Craig Zobel has shed light on why this change was made, but he’s keeping quiet about any potential connections to the Court of Owls’ assassin William Cobb to avoid spoilers for Batman fans. In an interview with The Hollywood Handle, Zobel explains the reasoning behind the name change.
