The Penguin, the DC series" showrunner reacted to his statement.
As Turturro"s comments on why he didn"t want to play Carmine again in The Penguin garnered a lot of attention, it didn"t take long for the creator and showrunner Lauren LeFranc to give her side of why they ended up recasting the role to The Wrap. LeFranc referenced that the recasting was, to her knowledge, due to scheduling conflicts, and
addressed how The Batman movie had already depicted Carmine as a violent individual towards women, sharing the following:
I completely respect an actor who doesn’t want to take on a role for whatever their personal reasons... I only want people to join our show who are excited and want to further the story we’re trying to tell. I think Mark Strong did a really fantastic job. He made the character his own and also really honored what John Turturro did.
To my knowledge it was due to scheduling conflicts.
Carmine in the movie killed Selina Kyle’s mother and then does try to actively kill Selina, and also kills Annika – Selina’s friend... I think it’s been established, and Matt and I are in agreement on this, that Carmine’s a very violent man and has a violent streak against women.
