NYCC 2024: The Penguin"s Cristin Milioti & Michael Kelly Break Down Sofia Falcone"s Tragically Triumphant Villain Arc

:0:0

The Penguin is halfway through its run on Warner Bros" Max streaming network, and Gotham City is up for grabs. As Colin Farrell"s Penguin manipulates the Falcone and Maroni families into orchestrating their own demise, a wildcard has emerged: Carmine Falcone"s daughter, Sofia, played by Cristin Milioti. Episode four of the series, "Cent"Anni," explores her backstory and reveals the scope of her victimhood and resilience in a way that caught many viewers off guard. The underworld of Gotham City depicted in The Penguin may be devoid of heroes, but the various villains and their tussle over control of the city has viewers choosing sides all the same.
Meanwhile, Sofia has her mother"s cousin, Johnny Viti, played by Michael Kelly, held hostage in the family crypt, tied up in unflattering BDSM gear and slowly freezing to death. His relationship with Sofia is complicated, due to his failed attempt to get her and her mother to leave the Falcone family years ago, before Sofia was sent away to Arkham Asylum. The Penguin works as a series because the characters are written to be empathetic, even while functioning as outright villains with varying levels of horrific depravity. For Sofia Falcone, the viewer can"t help but cheer her on as she overthrows her wicked family, since, as Cristin Milioti says, "They had it coming."
