Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events At the SAG Awards on Sunday night, Colin Farrell may have picked up yet another honor for his work as the villainous titular character in “The Penguin,” but the actor insists he isn’t currently inclined to do a second season. “I don’t want it.

I don’t not want it,” he told me exclusively backstage at the SAG Awards. “We all left it in the ring in those eight hours. I would hate to, just because of a quote-unquote success, have to go again and for it to be a diluted version of what people seem to feel it is, majoritively.

So I’m in no rush. I have no deep desire to do it. … Sure, if they think of something that works in conjunction as a parallel to Matt Reeves’ cinematic universe and it’s a good idea, I’m open it.

But it’s not something concerning me.” In a joint interview with Variety‘s Adam B. Vary published Monday morning, DC Studios co-chiefs Peter Safran and James Gunn said of a second season, “We don’t know. … There are a lot of moving pieces — probably most important Colin himself.” “And 800 pounds of makeup,” Gunn added, alluding to Farrell’s extensive transformation for the role.
