Pennyworth follows Bruce Wayne’s legendary butler, Alfred Pennyworth (Danny Cannon), a former British SAS soldier in his 20s, who forms a security company and goes to work with a young billionaire Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge), who’s not yet Bruce’s father, in 1960s London.
Ben Aldridge (Fleabag, Skinny Dip) will be joining the previously announced Danny Cannon as Thomas Wayne in Epix’s Pennyworth, the Batman prequel that will tell the origin story of Bruce Wayne/Batman’s best friend and butler. Aldridge’s previous credits include the comedy-drama film Toast, and the TV movie Skinny Dipp.
Thomas Wayne is described as a young, fresh-faced billionaire hailing from the east coast of the United States.
Confident and extremely disciplined, this young aristocrat meets an unlikely business partner in Alfred Pennyworth.
