Are you more confident that Colin Farrell would be a good Penguin now?

He is probably so good, that they decided to change his appearance instead of picking a guy looking like Oswald.

@g2_: Matt Reeves chose him for a good reason as he did Pattinson, I'm sure when the time comes, he'll pick a great actor for Joker.

Not really, consider I was already very confident he would be.

@mrmonster: Hahahaha, good. He's a talented actor and very underrated, Matt Reeves will do him and Penguin justice.

I don’t know that I’m confident so much as intrigued to see what he does with the role. Penguin really is a role that would attract more of a character actor type, which I’ve personally never really look at Farrell as. But seeing as I couldn’t even recognize him in what little we have seen, maybe it’ll work

@ghostodoofus2: Damn right he will.

I wasn't always sure that this would be a good idea, but seeing him in the trailer... he looks just right.

I always knew he'd do well because he's a good actor. I just wasn't expecting a full transformation.

I thought he would just wear a damn tux but he's completely transformed.

This^^

Beyond Pattinson I was not informed on any of the others participating in the film and failed to identify Farrell at a glance, so he is probably doing something right. As others said he always was a capable actor.

At first when I saw the trailer I couldn't really identify the Penguin as a character and I mean the character in general and not just Farrell. However, I never doubted him or any of the actors which were chosen for the movie.
