In the latest explosive tease for The Penguin series, Clancy Brown—who plays the sinister crime boss Salvatore Maroni—has hinted at just how dark his character’s intentions get. With his ruthless approach, Maroni’s showdown with the Penguin, played by Colin Farrell, is set to be one of the series’ most intense moments, as fans eagerly await what could be one of DC’s grittiest dramas.
Brown recently shared some jaw-dropping details in an interview about Maroni’s brutal mindset, adding a layer of danger to Gotham’s underground battles. “He was going to dismember and burn him,” Brown revealed, describing Maroni’s cold-blooded plans for Oswald Cobblepot. Known for his unapologetically gritty roles, Brown’s Maroni is shaping up to be an intimidating antagonist for Farrell’s Penguin, who’s already shown he’s not one to be messed with.
What has especially caught fans’ attention is Brown’s recounting of a key scene where Maroni “beats up” the Penguin. The actor explained that the moment goes beyond just a physical confrontation, hinting at psychological warfare and Maroni’s deeper, personal grudge. “There’s a lot more behind why Maroni would go to such lengths,” Brown shared. “It’s not just about power—it’s personal.”
Clancy Brown’s performance has been a highlight for fans even before the full series premiere, as viewers are thrilled to see his dark and menacing take on Maroni. Known for roles in The Shawshank Redemption and Carnivàle, Brown brings his iconic intensity to The Penguin, and according to insiders, his scenes with Farrell are some of the most brutal and memorable.
While Colin Farrell’s Penguin became an instant fan favorite in The Batman, Brown’s Maroni could prove to be his perfect counterweight—unrelenting and brutal, bringing Cobblepot’s rise to power a new and twisted obstacle. Farrell himself praised Brown’s performance, calling him “a legend” and sharing how the “unpredictability” of Brown’s character makes Maroni “a nightmare” for Penguin.
With all the hype surrounding The Penguin, fans are counting down to see how this explosive relationship will unfold. As Gotham’s most fearsome mobsters prepare to clash, it’s clear that Brown’s Maroni will bring a relentless ferocity, forcing the Penguin to fight for survival in ways fans haven’t seen before.
