Cristin Milioti has entered “The Batman” universe. “The Resort” actress will portray Sofia Falcone, Carmine Falcone’s daughter, in “The Penguin” (working title), the HBO Max limited series and spinoff to Matt Reeves’ film.

The “Made for Love” star will play opposite Colin Farrell’s title character. According to the show’s logline, the DC drama will expand upon the world Reeves has created with the focus on Farrell’s nefarious Gotham City mobster.

In the Robert Pattinson-starring “The Batman,” the kingpin Falcone is portrayed by John Turturro, whose character is at odds with the Penguin for control over the city. The film reflects comic book canon that Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz) is one of Falcone’s daughters, so it is potentially plausible that the character could make an appearance in the series alonside Milioti.
