The covers of the upcoming issue of Total Film have been revealed, and we’re returning to the dark and dangerous criminal underworld of Gotham City to witness the bloody ascent of future-Kingpin Oswald Cobb (Colin Farrell) in The Penguin. He can be seen, alongside Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone and Rhenzy Feliz as Victor Aguilar, on the covers of the new issue, which is landing on shelves on Thursday 12 September. Total Film subscribers will receive their copies shortly.
Set a week after the events of The Batman, which saw crime lord Carmine Falcone killed and Gotham City flooded by The Riddler, The Penguin tracks Cobb’s Scarface-like rise to power as the city’s criminal contingent fight to fill the vacuum at the top. Oz has stiff competition in the shape of Sofia Falcone – aka serial killer The Hangman – and unexpected help from unlikely protege Victor.
Look out for more exclusives from The Penguin dropping soon. Elsewhere in the issue, you’ll find deep dives into Sean Baker’s festival hit Anora, emotional Christopher Reeve doc Super/Man and the long-awaited Salem’s Lot remake; as well as a career-spanning chat with Dune: Prophecy star Emily Watson, Ridley Scott on his transformative director’s cuts, Himesh Patel talking superhero spoof The Franchise, a countdown of the 10 best Stephen King movies and exclusive new looks at Gladiator II, Wicked, Smile 2 and Terrifier 3.
Subscribers have the exclusive text-free cover on the way to them right now, with the issue then hitting shops and digital newsstands on Thursday 12 September.
