The Penguin’s Cristin Milioti Swears Her ‘Wildest Dream’ Involves Batman, And I Want To See This Happen

This past autumn, spectators or Max subscribers were treated to an exceptional drama series on HBO titled “The Penguin“, and a significant factor behind its success is Cristin Milioti‘s captivating portrayal. As Sofia Gigante, her acting was truly impactful – the character transitioning from a gangster heiress discarding her family legacy to embracing a monstrous identity of her own. Though we are uncertain about what lies ahead for her character, one thing is certain: Milioti would seize any opportunity to appear in an upcoming Batman film.

According to IndieWire, Cristin Milioti recently expressed her eagerness in interviews following her win at the Critics Choice Awards for Best Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie. When asked about a possible role in Matt Reeves’ Batman films, she didn’t hold back her excitement. Instead, she openly declared it as a genuine aspiration and stated that she would be prepared to start working on it before any production schedules were set. In her words, she was ready to jump on board the project even before it got underway.

I can’t imagine a greater joy. That long-cherished wish of mine is about to come true. The moment they contact me, I’ll be ready – just like when the base camp vans are being loaded, you understand. It’s a dream that burns brightly within me. As of now, it remains unconfirmed, but I eagerly await it.

To remind those who might have forgotten, the climax of “The Penguin” series ended with Oswald “Oz” Cobb gaining control over Sofia Gigante, but choosing not to kill her. Instead, he confined her to Arkham Asylum as a captive. In her last scene, she received a letter from her half-sister Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman (portrayed by Zoe Kravitz in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman”).

Is it possible that Sofia, played by Cristin Milioti, might appear in “The Batman Part II,” set to release in theaters on October 1, 2027? In theory, she could indeed have a part, given her character is open for use in the screenwriters’ future storyline for this anticipated film. However, at present, there has been no official communication regarding this. Milioti herself is aware that secrecy often surrounds such high-profile projects.

No, no. They’re secretive, but I would love nothing more. I would play this character for all time

Currently, only three actors have been officially confirmed for The Batman Part II: Robert Pattinson portraying Bruce Wayne/Batman, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth. Filming is planned to begin later this year, so we’re likely to hear about additional cast members in the upcoming months as production progresses.

Fans who enjoy comic book movies might need a bit of patience regarding Sofia Giante’s future, but there’s something exciting to look forward to – an impressive lineup of upcoming DC films is coming our way! The adventure begins with the release of James Gunn’s Superman in theaters on July 11.
