Colin Farrell Contrasts Morally Grounded 'Sugar' Character with Ruthless 'The Penguin' Role

Summary

Colin Farrell discusses his experience playing two polar opposite characters over six years: Oz "The Penguin" Cobb (a ruthless Gotham gangster) and John Sugar (a morally grounded L.A. private investigator). Farrell describes playing Sugar as a "moral palate cleanser" after the dark role of The Penguin. The article explores the similarities and differences between the two characters, with Farrell noting that while both are cinephiles and skilled at reading people, their core morality is completely opposite — Oz will hurt anyone to get what he wants, while Sugar operates from a place of empathy and justice. Farrell will reprise Oz Cobb in The Batman: Part II.
